Quarter 4- Journal 7: Intuition

Just two weeks ago, I wrote a 1400 word essay on how intuition plays into the different areas of knowledge, but I really didn't talk about intuition in general since it didn't relate to the task at hand. In any case, I'd like to use this journal to talk about it. Intuition is defined as: the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning. So it's basically understanding why something happens either upon it happening, or before it happens. I think it's a super strange ability to claim to have, but is totally real at the same time. Maybe they're just coincidences, but I think everyone has those moments where they just think something is going to happen, and then it does. I'd say that's intuitive. Also, babies use intuition from they moment they're born. They understand that when they want something, they can cry to get it, because that will get someone's attention. Therefore, they understand that when they need something, they need someone to help them. They're not born with that knowledge... so it's just intuitive for them. It's interesting to see how intuition plays a role in everyday life.
