learning to see:
in order to see properly, we must first learn this. we must understand what is happening around us, how it feels, what effect it has on us subconsciously and through what these feelings arise. for this, we must analyze our surroundings every day and thus train our attention.
We can do this especially well when we start to describe our environment. this can happen not only through words but also through imitations like drawing, 3d models or other kinds of art.
