Philosophy - December 2007

When i woke up this morning i noticed the blinds and the curtains.Where they met ,the light coming through the blinds seemed to cause indentations in the curtain.It got me thinking that where these two objects met there was an optical illusion because of the light and maybe this could be applied to the world in general.Is it possible that everything we see around us,even ourselves,is one big optical illusion.Is this world,or even this universe just the result of where two things meet - like the blinds and curtains.Anyway i'll leave you lot to add,expand,disprove etc. this theory.
Happy new year!!

All that surrounds us, is it outside or inside the mind? Good...no one knows and only time will tell...

However, I found out how to manipulate reality. I know how to play with reality itself.

My problem is reality, is like clay and I can't tell if I have created a work of art or a pile of crap.

If you could only pick one and not the other which would you have.

1)Have someone love you intimately but never have sex with you.
2)Have sex with you but never truly love you.

If everything we see, hear, smell, touch or taste is in our minds, are our senses any good at giving us accurate or true information about the world?

Here is my problem:

I'm 21, and I've never been in a relationship, and that's mainly because I have a lot of difficulty understanding what's going on here.

Just pretend your girlfriend or boyfreind didn't have sex organs, okay? When you remove the sexual attraction, and the romance from the picture, what is the difference between your love for your significant other, and your love for your friend or family member?

I just don't get it. I know it may sound completely stupid, and maybe it's becuase I've never been "in love" or whatever. It's just that, everytime I think I want a relationship, I remember that dating always feels silly, like a waste of time, and having a "real" relationship with someone would mean friendship... which isn't really different from a regular friendship except for the sex part... or is it? Someone please explain this to me! Am I crazy?

I often find myself sitting around thinking about universal human nature and wondering about the reasons why people think and act a certain way, how much people have changed over time, and the effects this has on our physical world, sometimes for hours on end. I'm 13 years of age, I love to learn, and I apparently have a bit too much free time on my hands. Is this normal? Or do I just have a passion for psychology? I wish I could explain a bit better.

The point is---------- Do kids my age do this as well? Have any of you ever wondered about this sort of thing?
