- New Media
‘when the first encounter with some object surprise, and we judge it to be new, or very different from what formerly knew, of from what we supposed that it ought to be, that cause us to wonder and be surprise: and because that may happen before we in any way know whether this object is agreeable to us or is not so, it appears to me that wonder is the first of all the passion: and it is has no opposites, because if the object which present itself has nothing in it that surprise us, we are nowise moved regarding it, and we consider it without passions.’
- Rene Descartes, The Passions of the Soul, article 53 -
The conclusion from this article is when we find something new we must think that will give positive or negative impact for us to depend us from any bad things.
