We create symbols when we need something to think about and also, at times, to worship. If I have a picture of something from a long time ago, then I would cherish it because it would be my symbol of hope and wonder. People need symbols because without them, your life would proably be very dull and boring. If I didn’t have any symbols then I would have nothing to live for and wouldn’t much care for anything. You may even have a symbol and not even know it.
We create symbols for us to express our individualism. For example, I believe that if two people happen to have the same exact thing for a symbol, then chances are that their meaning of that symbol is different. For example, I could think that the American Flag is symbolic of freedom, while my friend could think that it symbolizes love.
