Do You Think?
by When was the last time you really sat down and thought about something? Was it a few minutes ago or a few months age? Our society is so reliant on someone else thinking for them that we have become a co-dependent culture. Is there really an afterlife or do you just die and cease to exist? A Heaven? A Hell? And ghosts? Are they there? Are they what give you the shivers when you’re walking up in the middle of the night, wondering if someone is lurking around the corner? Aliens?

Do you think? When was the last time you really sat down and thought about something? Was it a few minutes ago or a few months age? Our society is so reliant on someone else thinking for them that we have become a co-dependent culture.
Did you watch the news today? Was some guy on a killing spree? A serial killer. Did you ever wonder if they felt any mercy for the person as they killed them, each one of them? Or maybe they were merciless and they felt nothing. Or maybe, just maybe, they are a figment of your imagination.
The Matrix
Did you wake up this morning or are you still dreaming? Or are you possibly in a computer generated and controlled world that will keep you there until you wake up, like in the movie The Matrix?
Are people fond of you or do people hate you? Maybe as you were walking past that person this morning and you said, “Hi,” and they smiled and waved back, they were just doing it to make you go away. Or maybe they have a crush on you. Maybe, in the middle of that movie you were watching in English class, there was a subliminal message that read: “FOOD” and so you thought you were hungry.

Black Holes
Is there really an afterlife or do you just die and cease to exist? A Heaven? A Hell? And ghosts? Are they there? Are they what give you the shivers when you’re walking up in the middle of the night, wondering if someone is lurking around the corner? Aliens? Do they exist or are they just some media-generated pieces of dreams? If they do exist, are they of higher level of intelligence, lower, or the same? Would they be out to harm us, be friendly, or just be like us? Would they be us? Maybe they have blue skin, twenty tentacles on their head, and purple hair. Or maybe they look just like us and exist in some far corner of the universe. And, yes, the universe. Have you ever thought about how far the universe goes? Does it ever end? Maybe if one went far enough they’d reach some place of being beyond a human’s comprehension? Wormholes also referred to as “black holes” ; there is a theory that states that if someone were to sucked into one that they would be “speghettified” meaning that they would be stretched into an impossible length to be accomplished on earth. If they were to also be sucked through to the other end, would they end up at another place in time, maybe 100,000 years in the future or 200,000 years in the past? Black holes have such a strong gravitational force that they suck light away. Where does the light go?
A Good Thought
Where do all the missing socks in the dryer go? If you could go back to being a baby in your mother’s womb, would you be able to realize what was going on and would you remember it for the rest of your life or for a short period of time? If you went back in time to the age of two years, by the time you got to the age of 16, would you be any smarter? Or would everything simply be remedial? Just some thoughts for those of you there who haven’t really sat down and had a good thought today!

A remarkable article Mr. Ghaz. Those are extremely quizzical and existential questions.

I have sat and thought of a lot of these although some of them are just not worth trying to find out lol

I think about this sort of thing (except for the dryer socks) all the time. Especially I also think about how big the biggest thing is.. and how small the smallest thing is.

Some great thought provoking questions there! I think with the invention of video games and things like that, our children lost out so much on the fun of just using their imaginations. I remember playing as a child and the worlds we would go to….
As writers, we use that imagination all the time.
Good write.

I could give you the answers.. but then you would have nothing to think about yourself.

Awesome presentation! At my age, I do try to make my own decisions. However, there are somethings I have no control over, like the rising cost of living.

A real thought provoking post, for sure. So very well done to entertain and consider what is deep within ourselves.

What we are and the world around us is mostly the figment of our own imagination. We only keep have to wait for the Men in Black.

Very interesting article! Life now is not getting better but it’s getting worse. All we have to do is to live life one day at a time, giving back everything to God in prayer

Wonderful question. I pray this morning but I don’t think when I really had time to sit and think about this life.

Nice post, mrghaz. I was brought up to always question and be curious. Not only does it deepen your appreciation for what happens around you but it keeps a little room available for new discoveries, opinions and thoughts. I know you do a lot of thinking too, because you keep surprising us with interesting topics for your blogs. =)

Great write! I dated a girl once with blue skin, twenty tentacles, and purple hair, but it never occurred to me that she might be an alien. It’s good I didn’t go home with her to meet her parents!
