Contemplation is the act of thinking deeply and carefully about something, often for a long time. It involves:
* Focusing attention: Directing your mind to a particular object, thought, or idea.
* Intense thought: Engaging in serious reflection and analysis.
* Meditation: Often associated with contemplation, especially in spiritual or religious contexts, where it involves quiet, focused thought and often involves introspection.
Here are some examples:
* "She sat in the garden, lost in contemplation of her life."
* "The philosopher spent years in contemplation of the meaning of existence."
* "Meditation is a practice of deep contemplation."
