On Thursday, we asked “is there anything that cannot be measured?” for our Thinking Thursday question, and we received some excellent answers.
You can read more about the Learning Enhancement Department behind the Thinking Thursday series here.
Read below a sample of the answers received.
“Love, hope, fear, emotions and wisdom can’t be measured because love is infinite and people never know how much of one emotion they are feeling. And with wisdom, you could know things that others might not count as being wise.” Amelia
“I think that a lot of things can be measured in the world but sadness, happiness and love can’t because they aren’t actually a solid object.” Anna
“I think everything can be measured because there must be a way just we might not have found out how to measure it yet.” Aaron
“Yes because some things don’t need to be measured. Also it depends what kind of measured you mean. Dreams can’t be measured because nobody else experiences it.” Isla
“Imagination can’t be measured because there is no limit to it and it can go anywhere you want it to go.” Lauren
