wild

When I think of the word wild a lot comes to mind. The first thing that seems to come to mind is someone acting wild. By wild I mean crazy. Not crazy in the sense of insane but as something daring or mind-boggling. An example would be a man jumping from a moving vehicle onto another moving vehicle. To me that seems pretty reckless and risky. These valiant stunts are attention grabbers, which is what makes them seem so wild or outrageous. These insane moments make you say, “Did that really just happen?” These unbelievable actions performed by others and maybe even myself times are what leave me saying, “Wow, that was wild.”

            Another thing that comes to mind when hearing this word is simply the outdoors. By outdoors I don’t just mean right outside my house. I mean the great outdoors and the jungle. All the free roaming animals and nature all around just seems magnificent. I would love to be right in the middle of all the wild animals. The dangers that lurk behind every turn and the amazing spectacle of the plants and animals all seem so wild and natural. Despite the fact of it being natural feeling and at points peaceful the real meaning behind it is the terror and fright of the jungle. The jungle is filled with killer beasts such as lions and tigers. These are no animals to mess around with. They have killer instincts. If they see something and they’re hungry they kill it and eat it. There is nothing calm and peaceful about that. It shows their true savage and wild lifestyle. Free roaming animals are wild animals and they don’t live by any rules. They could almost be called rogue animals.

            The wild I feel I can personally relate to is the wild someone has within them. Everyone can be a little out of control sometimes. The thinks people think, say, or do aren’t always “normal.” Normal doesn’t even exist. I feel no one is normal. Everyone has a little wild or in other terms weird side to them. Feeling crazy and letting loose is showing your wild side.

            Wild deep within someone can be a good thing and a bad thing. It is a good thing in the sense of someone letting loose and having fun. Someone showing a different side of themselves and being rebellious shows this as well. The bad side is the insane and bad thoughts that run through certain people’s minds. Sometimes people the there wildness take them over and it does not lead to good things. This is why the world is filled with crime and murder. Certain people just do not know how to control their wild side. They are stuck in wild mode and can’t get back to reality mode.

            As you can see the word wild has many meanings. The one I discussed are just the few that come to mind when I first think about the word. This word can mean whatever you want it to mean. It all depends on how someone interprets it. I see it as something outrageous, the jungle, and a side of someone that lies deep within. It interpretations and meanings are endless.
