The dictionary defines the word “wild” as something that resides or grows in the nature. A “wild” environment is said to be uncultivated or uninhabited. An animal is considered “wild” if it is not domesticated and lives in the previously described wild region. Another dictionary explains that wild things are produced without any help from people. Being “wild” is described as being in a free state of natural existence. Since the term “wild” means uncontrolled, it can also be used to refer to something violent, extreme, or unusual. Things that are considered wild typically lack restraints and are left in their instinctive state. In addition, a “wild” idea could be described as something irrational or unrealistic.
Personally, I have always considered something wild to be free in a sense. Free from society’s standards and expectations, free to do as the natural feelings desire. Wild animals, for example, tend to roam wherever their epigenetic traits lead them. While domesticated animals are tied to their owner and the designated living space the owner has provided for them. I interpret “the wild” as being a natural environment far away from cities, towns, and civilization in general. The word “wild” could also describe people that tend to be carefree or unhinged, they are generally more impulsive and engage in risky behavior. As an adjective, wild can also illustrate situations that are chaotic and uncontrolled. People often describe going to the club or a concert as a “wild night out”. However, the most mundane people will still call themselves “wild”, so this word has its own definition for everyone at the end of the day.
