Insight

[trisherina]

Definition:
[n] grasping the inner nature of things intuitively
[n] clear or deep perception of a situation
[n] the clear (and often sudden) understanding of a complex situation
[n] a feeling of understanding

All of us have insights from time to time, often using them to guide us. We realize that we're doing something we shouldn't, or that a risk needs to be taken. Some insights are fleeting; some we carry around forever and wonder what we did without them. Some we ignore, some we can't, and some we search for fruitlessly.

Like a planaria, I tend to develop insight best in response to pain. Other people need leisure and pleasure to incubate the germs of their insights.

Had any lately? Or remember any good ones?
