Contrasts

Contrasts stimulate strong feelings. The more an experience differs from what we are used to - the further away from our sentimental baseline - and the more intense our sensation.

Contrasts stimulate strong feelings.

The more an experience differs from what we are used to - the further away from our sentimental baseline - the more intense our sensation.

Some experiences cause us to hold on and reflect. Then, something touches our inner core and makes us think about ourselves, the people around us and our environment.

The impulse we get can be life-changing or affirming.

We need contrasts, they offer insights to ourselves.
