Outward-moving for Dummies

"Outward-moving" is a term we use to describe something that is moving away from a center point or starting point. When we say "outward," we mean that it is going in the opposite direction of where it originally started. Imagine you are throwing a ball up into the air and then it comes back down to the ground. The ball is moving upward when you throw it, and then it starts moving downward as it falls back to the ground. But when we say "outward-moving," it means that the ball is moving away from the ground, maybe rolling off to the side or bouncing away, instead of simply falling straight down. It's like when you throw a stone into a calm pond, and you see the ripples spreading outwards from where the stone hit the water. Those ripples are moving outward because they are expanding away from the center of where the stone hit.

But "outward-moving" can also be used to describe things that are not physical objects. For example, imagine a group of friends who are all sitting together in a room. If one person suddenly starts telling a funny joke and everyone in the room starts laughing and smiling, the happiness and laughter are spreading outward from that one person. It's like a wave of joy moving through the group, affecting everyone who hears the joke. In this case, the "outward-moving" is not about physical movement but more about the spreading of a feeling or emotion. It's like when you drop a drop of ink into a glass of water. The ink spreads throughout the water, moving outward from the spot where it initially dropped.

So, in a nutshell, "outward-moving" means something is moving away from a certain point, whether it is a physical object moving away from a center or a feeling spreading and affecting people around it. It's like a ripple effect, where something starts at a specific spot and then spreads outward, touching and influencing everything in its path.
