The fact that Australia is an English speaking country has a huge effect on people’s depictions of beautiful moments. First of all the word ‘moment’ is better understood. There are more moments related to specific short episodes of time, for example steff’s moment: “I was standing at the traffic lights waiting to cross the road. I looked up and saw purple clouds moving across the sky.”
Also the word ‘beautiful’ is understood in a way that it doesn’t have to be solely happy. For example Lucas crashed with his bicycle because he took a corner too sharp. He writes:
“There are beautiful moments and then there are beautiful moments I can draw In a single moment, in all moments
I risk my life to live it,
crashing to the ground as I ride my bike,
I stand again and life is beautiful.”
