We've all been in one of those "If I could walk a mile in your shoes" type of scenarios.
Those "Freaky Friday' hopes that we could spend the day in someone else's body to 'live their life.' There's only one problem with this hope. We're still us.
Every time someone is shown to switch bodies, they maintain their personality and mindset, it's where the comedy and drama comes from in those movies. Even in Being John Malcovich they merely inhabited the man's brain... even if they didn't control it, they still saw the world from THEIR point of view.
So what is the point? If we merely inhabit another body as ourselves, yes we may come to know and understand a piece of their life... But never TRULY understand them. We still perceive with OUR mind.
I wish there was a way that you could completely switch with a person, and keep those memories once you switch back. Have the knowledge that it is YOU in THEIR body, but still have the personality and thought pattern of the body you posses. Then when you experience their life you truly do. You actually come to know what they feel and think and how things affect them.
Only then can you have truly walked a mile.
Also if a guy and a girl ever switched sexes they should so so with a close friend of the opposite sex, and for long enough to have experienced most all of that sexes ups and downs (sorry guys but yes if you switch i would hope it'd be mid menstrual cycle or pregnancy situation, what would be the male equivalent for a female to live through?) That way they get the full feeling of the other sex, and put up with each other so then they could look and say, "Holy Crap i get like that when I'm (when you're) on my (your) period" etc etc.... you know the dealio.
yeah.
I need to find countable sheep or something, these things get crazy.
