You know I'm sitting here eating ice cream (mint chocolate chip) wearing comfy clothes, and got to thinking.. Do we really understand the world around us?
Sadly it's more correct to say no.
First you have to consider, how much of our own planet have we really explored? 2/3 covered in water, 1/3 land. Not a great ratio when you think about it. There are mysteries of our waters that we have yet to see. Some we may never see in our own lifetimes. How long did it take them to find and see the Titanic after it sank? 80 years (more or less).
What is really wierd is that we know more about the moon than we do our own oceans. And that's just the water. How many areas on land have we never seen? If there are even any left. And that's just the nature end of it.
Now let's really think. I know, I know.. you're sitting there reading this and probably considering hitting the arrow in the upper left of the screen to go back and not finish. Who wants to think, really ever. C'mon, a lot of us zombie our way through work, and through part of our lives. There are a few people that have more active minds when they sleep than when they are awake. Dreaming is a mind intensive event. Oh yea event. Consider all the physical effects a dream can have on people. Yea see I got ya off the exploration thing, how much of the world have we explored? How much of our own bodies do we know?
Yea I know medicine can tell us quite a bit about ourselves physically. But when it comes to the mind you are still lying on a couch telling some stranger how you feel about your parents. See that part is all speculation, there is no real rock solid knowledge about the mind.
Dreaming, how many people try to interpret thier dreams? Pretty much everyone that remembers them. Why? Why not, it's something to do and how many dreams make sense? Not a damn one. Why? Your mind is as faster at running than your own senses can handle. Dreams have random images in your memory. Are they actually random, or are they the ones we remember here and there out of so many more we missed, that if we had caught all of them we would have a clear picture of the whole thing?
Why is it like that? Is it all we can handle? Is it past lives? Or is it God playing games with us?
Well here is an idea. Ever see the computer game "The Sims" or "The Sims 2" you create a person and run thier lives. What if the world is a larger version of that and God plays it to relax? And if so, I want the computer he's running. The regular game took up most of the processor my computer has. To run a global scale one
Ok back to exploring, yea I know I get off track. ADHD live with it, why not I have to.
Anyway, how much do we even know about each other (as in the opposite sex). Little to nothing, girls say they understand us guys, but my girlfriend (Angie) always says she never knows how to deal with me cuz I never react to things like I should. Like never running for the hills when the "M" word is mentioned. But that's just with me, granted I know there are a few guys out there like that. We are just rare.
Now for the ladies end of it, what do us guys know about you? NO suprise there, little to nothing, we know your name, maybe your phone number, some of us know your eye color when your not in front of us. But there are a rare, rare few guys that don't "know" women, but they sense them, typically one. Like Angie can't really sneak up on me, cuz I know when she gets within a certain distance, usually about 6 feet or so. Actually I don't know why. But it is kinda cool, it's like being able to hug her from nearly across the room. . How cool would that actually be.
Ok. BACK to exploration. What do we know of our own world? Comparatively? Not a whole lot, and of the universe beyond? Even less. How cool would it be to be able to explore into the depths of the sea, the vastness of space, or even into the mystery that is our own mind?
Lay back and think about it for a while. Have a drink it makes it easier.. lol
