Epiphany

I was just folding my laundry in the evening and thinking about the creative project we were assigned. I really had no idea what to do for this project, since ideas don't come easily to me. I had just come back from working 9 hours in the lab, and there was still homework to do. I was stressed out. But everyone is stressed out. There are plenty of people I could name who have much more to do than I do. At the very least, I assumed that others have, at some point, felt more stress than I felt then.

Is that really true though? Could I really say that every single being could relate to what I was feeling? How would a dog feel about my being stressed? Maybe it doesn't matter? Intrigued at this sudden rush of thoughts, I quickly scribbled whatever ideas I could grasp from it. And so, this idea started (text in image):

"We assume that these things are universal but really they only exist in the realm of human existence. Do animals have epiphanies, as I have right now? It is such a strange unique feeling, and as most would agree, but the moment we bring apply it to something non-human, it makes no sense..."

So, from smoothing out the creases in my clothing, I began to smooth out what one could call a wrinkle in our daily perception. In a sense, this can be seen as evening the creases of the binder paper where I wrote my idea. However, I am not speaking of the two folds stretching across the page; instead, the wrinkles that I aim to fix reside in the words written on the page. What else did I miss How much of our sensation is really universal, and is everything we see, taste, smell, hear, and feel only human?
