People’s Thinking Process.

Sometimes I feel like life, itself, is the most ridiculous thing. I really don’t get the point.

It goes without saying that I appreciate the fact that I am alive. Yet the feeling that so many things go wrong without a purpose fails to leave me. Specially, I do not understand how other individuals, seemingly like myself, can do things so differently. I think what I am trying to say is that I have problem understanding our individual thinking processes. In terms of logic, there is always one decision that is ideal in every single situation, yet not all people strive to do the same right thing. So, am I wrong? Is the idea of ideal different in everyone’s heads for even the most basic of things?

Note that I use the term “basic” because obviously each individual has different options about different things when topics become more complex. For instance, “ideal” to some may refer to sameness in everyone, such as communism and fascism. “Ideal” to others may refer full acceptance of all differences, all races, colors, sexual orientations and etcetera. These are obviously much more complicated in terms of subject matter.

What do we view as the wrong things to do?

I guess even this can get complicated (i.e.: religion enthusiasts on homosexuality, republicans on democratic ideals, white supremists on everyone else and etc.) I am heading for more basic, like “murder is bad”. It is just so interesting how much perspective can vary on these things….

[I feel like I am rambling. I am trying to say what I need to say but I can not. I don’t know]

One side of the spectrum is Mother Teresa, the other end is Albert Fish (look this guy up, he is a crazy man). Somewhere in between these two are each and everyone of us. The question is where do we fall in this spectrum? Who are we closer to?

The way that most people think, its pretty shocking.

This is going to be too long of a post, so I will stop it right here.

Do You Really Know?

Everyone has something that they are good at, or something that they think they are good at.

Have you ever been convinced that you know about something. Like you’ve read all about it and you’ve seen things regarding it…

Then a situation comes up where that is tested and it turns out you knew nothing about it at all. Or maybe you were just at the tip of the iceberg.

If you haven’t experienced it yet, I hope you don’t  because I have to say,  it is an unpleasant feeling!

Read your books, Talk less and avoid situations like that!

Time Travel

Today, I was talking to Chris about the whole universe thing I wrote about a couple days ago. And she thought it was interesting because of the time aspect of it.

Then I had remembered some teacher back in high school talking about the fact that a great scientist (I don’t want to say Einstein because I am not sure) had this theory that all life was like playing a tape cassette. There is a stop button, a play button, a rewind button and a fast forward button.  We on currently on play now, as I write, but humans still haven’t figured out how to use the rest of the buttons.  So if this scientist, I guess, believed that we could make some way to go back in time or “press the rewind button” so to speak.

Then Chris (the smart person she is) put a thought out there that I didn’t think of in regards to time travel. She said that if life was like a tape playing, people would never be able to do time travel.  If we press the rewind button, we (the intended time travelers) also rewind because we are a part of what is on the cassette. Therefore, we would lose knowledge of the idea and if we wanted to change anything, we couldn’t because we would go back to the mindset of the moment we wanted to change. Thus, we all make the same mistakes over and over again, no matter what.

Wow, I need to go pick a book on this stuff.
