Lesson 3 was about convergent and divergent thinking.
Convergent thinking can be illustrated with the example of making decisions based on a single target or main goal. For instance, making a decision on which road to take to get to Genting Highlands.
Divergent thinking on the other hand is about exploring various possibilities without any limitations or constrictions. For example, a journey of soul searching where an individual wanders to various places without a specific destination.
This week we also discussed particularly about linking two totally unrelated items to one another. For example, lets say a needle and karma. Totally two different thing altogether is it not? Some people may say that its impossible to relate both of these items together, but with a little divergent thinking, you actually can.
Here is how i will relate a needle to karma. Needle --> sharp-->pain-->jealousy-->ill will-->betrayal-->crime-->punishment-->karma. This is just my opinion anyway. Perhaps there are also other better ways to link these two together.
Here is another example of divergent thinking. Linking butterflies to a ship! Could you have thought of that as well?
