How can the world “which I found myself in” be understood in two ways?
What we
have isn’t the world I wanted. There is a simple monologue, this isn’t it. That was the one I found myself in not knowing anyone else.
I understand the second sentence, that the speaker ended living in a world he doesn’t like. However, can this also be interpretted also that he also found himself like “he was able to realize himself” in that world? Why do some people think euphonia?
Can you please use this expression in a spiritual way? In the meaning of being at some place in which I found myself? – This is the church I found myself in. – If not what is a good way to express that someone found himself in a particular place?
My issue is the mix of the methaprhorical meaning together with position and stranded preposition ( this is the world/church I xxxxx in) to me that makes the sentense confusing and the question is, whether it is a valid construction.
With the term “to find yourself” used both metaphorically and literally. Depending on context: “to
- find yourself somewhere or someplace (literally) to
- find your self / yourself (metaphorically) Personally,
I would phrase it as “your Self”, because I find the psychological meaning most relevant, but it is also sometimes used poetically (“yourself”) What’s an example of this song that uses the phrase in his/her life metaphorically, in order to dramatize his/her transformation? What is the difference between materialism, the identification with materialism, and the identification with materialism? When you find yourself in some far off place and it causes
you To rethink some things You start
to sense That slowly you’re
becoming someone else And then
you find yourself (the
words) When you make
new friends In a
brand new town And you start
to think About settling down The
things that would have been
lost on you Are now
clear as a bell And
you find yourself
(the words) We go through life So sure of
where you’re heading And then you
wind up lost And it’s
the best thing that happen Sometimes
when
