My definition of symbolism
January 7th, 2010 by chadd
Have you ever asked yourself what a symbol is? Or Why do we have symbols? or even, Why do we make symbols? What makes a symbol special? What is a symbol, and what isn’t?
The truth is that anything can be a symbol, as long as it’s symbolic to you in some way. The person, place, or thing must make you feel a certain way to be symbolic of anything. To me a symbol is something a lot of people know the value, or meaning of, like the U.S flag. The thoughts conveyed by this flag are both good and bad depending on the person, and there are also people who simply don’t care, or don’t believe that the U.S flag is symbolic of anything. I believe that the U.S flag is symbolic of help (aid), and protection. Another example of symbolism is The Red Cross which I believe is symbolic of help, and care.
I believe that we create symbols when we are in need of hope, inspiration, or any other feeling that our life is lacking at any point in time. A great example of a symbolic item is a story a classmate of mine told today; She told us a story about her grandmother’s necklace. Her grandmother passed and she misses her very much, and to her the necklace is symbolic of her grandmother’s love and memories of time past that she spent with her grandmother.
I also believe that we need symbols because they help us get through tough times, and help set life goals. Symbols inspire us, guide us, and help us make important decisions on a daily basis.
The American flag is considered a symbol all over the world, a symbol of help, protection, aid, love, freedom, and patriotism.
