The left brain is responsible for making order out of chaos, for making sense of things in the world that don’t always add up. To do this, it often makes up stories, fantastic confabulations in some cases, just to be able to explain what we’re experiencing.
Because TV is mostly close up, it has to be fast. And because it has to be fast, you don’t have time to explain completely, by a sequence shot, what’s happening between people. So instead of experiencing what’s happening, say, when a couple is dancing, dialogue is used to explain.
Small business owners are experiencing great uncertainty because of the possibility of tax increases, the inconsistent flow of credit, an outrageous national debt, high energy costs, and overreaching federal regulations.
I just want to be really clear about this: Anyone who has read Colin Powell’s biography – there’s an entire section where he talks about experiencing segregation. Colin Powell did not appear when he became head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That’s not how it happened.
Women are allowed more freedoms and we’re fighting for more freedoms, we’re experiencing more freedoms won.
Black people are experiencing a systemic disadvantage, and it goes back to slavery, which was not that long ago.
It was writing about music for NPR – connecting with music fans and experiencing a sense of community – that made me want to write songs again. I began to feel I was in my head too much about music, too analytical.

In the midst of the sense of tragedy or loss, sometimes laughter is not only healing, it’s a way of experiencing the person that you’ve lost again.
I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where I woke up Christmas morning and had toys. I know that’s not the case with all people and I don’t think kids should go without experiencing that sort of joy.
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it’s incredibly romantic.
The characters that I’m typically drawn to are sensitive men who are experiencing some sense of identity crisis or growth in their life that they don’t know how to overcome.
The challenges of adventure, rock climbing and alpinism trained me well for dealing with the slow neurodegenerative malady I’m experiencing.
The student-loan crisis has an underappreciated emotional valence too: The debt makes people miserable. In one survey, more than half of borrowers said that they have experienced depression because of their debt. Nine in 10 reported experiencing anxiety.
It was about this time that I began experiencing the beginnings of my battles with an anxiety disorder. We were touring a lot and there were some developing personal problems within the band.
I found school quite tough, but Saturday night was movie night, and I started to empathise with the characters on screen. I started to get more involved with what these people were experiencing. Film inspired me to do better.
Gang members have invariably grown up in broken, chaotic homes, often experiencing domestic violence; they have truanted from school and many have been formally excluded; and they live in neighbourhoods where worklessness, addiction and crime are rife.

It really has become the singular motivation in my life – to surrender to the art and to the free expression of what I may be experiencing in my life spiritually. It is really hard in the face of people who don’t get it, but what do you do?
I wrote ‘Torches’ before experiencing touring as a band. I really had no idea what they would sound like live, and that was something we had to figure out along the way.
Sincere regret may be a faculty for paying attention to the future, for sensing a new tide where we missed a previous one, for experiencing timelessness with a grandchild where we neglected a boy of our own.
Finding gainful employment to pay for housing is hard for any veteran experiencing homelessness. It’s even more difficult for veterans who’ve also had encounters with police and stints in jail.
That’s part of the problem with these conflicts. We’re not close enough to it. If we don’t try to get really close to what these guys – men, women, Americans, and now, with this Arab Revolution, young Arab men, Young Egyptians and Libyans – are experiencing, you don’t understand the world, essentially.
I have worked with artists who are super-young and new and experiencing success, and I feel bad because I can see it in their eyes that they truly think that is it for the rest of their life. And I am like, ‘It may be, but you have to work at it, and even if you do, it may not be, so enjoy what is going on right now.’
I want to marry after traveling alone, meeting many people, and experiencing a variety of things, and when I’m certain I can be responsible of myself.

I try to understand people who do violence. I try to understand what they are feeling and experiencing.
Midlife is a time of explosive change, particularly for women. It’s just like experiencing another puberty. The changes that take place in your body are enormous and, like puberty, you have to throw off the past.
I’m absolutely convinced that the very small global warming we are experiencing is the result of natural causes. It’s a cyclical phenomenon in the history of the Earth. The role of man is very small, almost negligible.
I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.
I couldn’t find anyone doing something about the astounding injustices women were experiencing, so I decided to do something myself. I cannot tell you how many people ridiculed my efforts.
I love that experience of seeing a bad movie or a movie that you don’t even know, and then experiencing it with your friend.
I don’t own designer clothes, or a sports car, or a huge house, but I am seeing the world, experiencing amazing things, and I have become an environmental campaigner.
Since I started my career very early, I have gone through the rigmarole of experiencing successes and failures.
I feel like, when we are young, especially, while we are experiencing so many ‘firsts,’ when songs move us, we recall exactly where we were when we heard them.
I worry that more and more kids my age are growing up without experiencing the outdoors, which means that fewer will care about the natural world.
The thing about awards is that a lot of those moments are about the whole world telling you that you deserve it and rah, rah, rah. I’m very appreciative of that, but I love experiencing stuff by myself. Because it feels different. You know the truth, and you can hear what the voice in your head is saying properly.
The black community sees itself as one group, and they are all experiencing the same experiences as a group with racism and whatnot, growing up in this country.

As individuals we all have a side to us where we will do anything for certain emotions we are experiencing, and one of them is love – and love can send you in very strange directions.

There’s no anger ever in a spiritual. There’s always the dream of a hope of a better day coming. That God understands the troubles that I’m experiencing.
I have a transgender nephew on my father’s side of the family. So I’m extremely aware of how important it is to support and advocate for young people who are experiencing that in their lives.
I love experiencing new cultures and new foods.
American culture is not about experiencing our shame, it’s about denying it. It’s been that way our whole history.
I can’t wait to get over to the U.K. for my first time ever. I’ve always heard how amazing the fans are over there – looking forward to experiencing it for myself.
I had the benefit of experiencing a hundred times more than the average kid. I don’t look back with regret at all. It was the best life ever.
