...Just a thought (no crapping)

[CinderElmo]

Interesting thread. I think only people who are "Self-aware" can truly grasp the full meaning of your post DannyLove. To be able to get outside yourself and look back in is a rare trait. Some would call it a blessing...others it is a curse.

Some days I will "wake up" at my job and think "wtf am I doing here?" Will it matter to ANYONE that I am hitting these keys or pushing this mouse? I too can look down from the stars and see myself in my chair doing NOTHING to contribute to the betterment of our race. That is what brings me down (see my sig). It's not like I am depressed...I am thankful to be alive and KNOW that I am alive...but I just wish I could do something of value for the planet and still make enough CA$H to feed the family...

To me that is what Star Trek is all about...finding humanity's full potential...at least according to what Q said in "All Good Things..." - I just wish life were more like Trek sometimes.

ah... youth... those were the good old days...

<< ah... youth... those were the good old days... >>

well i guess here is my next question (for a min there i thought my thread got lost with these posts)

Why do you say youth? I know that I am young, (20 years) but shouldn't this also apply to anyone, mainly mature peeps with some type of path (ie not followers with a directed path like in grade school)

I'm glad some understood what I was saying and I do agree that you have to be &quot;self-aware&quot; to understand. Some just aren't. They simply just live their lives according to what they are &quot;suppose&quot; to be doing or what is rational to do. I myself live my life so i can support myself but is this what I am suppose to be doing?

This all may seem weird and funny, heck, maybe even scary to some, but I don't think its a problem like some have said (by the matter of joking in my thead). Its more of a thought that goes beyond normal thoughts i guess. I guess all this can be generalized in the movie &quot;Beach&quot; when Leo begins to talk with that girl and explaining to her the concept of a &quot;paraelle universe&quot;

<< my girlfirend used to think i am wierd for looking too much in her eyes all the time, but there is just something in the human eyes, its like a bridge between the physical world we can observe and something beyond, that soul that driving our body to do everything it does... dunno if thats might be the reason i used to kiss her eyes so much lol >>



wow, I did the same thing with my past gfs. eyes are the only doorway to the actual person who possesses them. wierd? i dont think so. they're just ignorant.

wow, didnt think this thread will be still alive, the thing about eyes is that sometimes i could see a different expression in someone`s eyes than the state they appear to be in normally, its like you can see beyond thier facial expression through thier eyes, i could always tell when girlfriend was sad over anything from her eyes, no matter how she sppeared to be happy or joked around... but yea i agree they are not the only doorway, ever happen to you, when you care so much about someone, you could almost imagine or see in your mind what they are doing in a different place? then when you see them again, and tehy tell you they did something just like what you saw in your mind before, sorta of like deja vu.

yes... when i've taken too many drugs.

I get these sort of periods. Things will become strange, time will seem to change its flow. One day I spent over an hour contemplating my name, at one point I was sure I had never even seen the letters that make it up before. On other occasions I've sat and thought for what seemed a great deal of time about something, but when I checked the time, or talked to someone it had only been seconds. These are moments I try to find when I meditate.

BTW; for information on this sort of experience, try looking up presque vu and jamais vu.

I don't think it's a matter of youth, but the kind of mind you have.
Some people just go on living life without stopping to think. Some may think too much and end up doing or being nothing at all.
I tend to have those moments. My hubby calls it the Hispanic daze
But we often ponder and dream about the possibility of other things, things outside ourselves, things much greater than ourselves. Frankly I think it's a good thing 'cause keeps us from thinking we're the be-all and end-all of this universe.

very intresting elita, i am thinking of using that for my signature since i still dont have one

We truly are insignificant in the grand scheme of things... it's times like you mention when I'm just staring into the heavens and wondering where we fit into this crazy place that I realize how petty everything in my life is. We make this big to-do about all the events in our life, and how important they are to us... but the fact of the matter is, nothing we do in this world means jack squat to what's going on around us. We're like a speck of dust in a desert, essentially.

Pulpp: You have impeccable taste in signatures.

DannyLove,

i do it all the time. most of the time it happends when its a nice summer afternoon and i'm by myself at home, or outside. my mind starts to wonder and drift, i dont really think of much, its kinda like a small recluse away from the real world for that few minutes that u &quot;zone&quot; out.
its an odd feeling, a good thing, kinda of relazing yet sometimes mkaes your heart heavy.

 

[Anghang]

i know exactly what your talking about, is it maybe an age thing?...i'm 25...maybe ppl of all ages do it...for me it's brought me to the point of leaving my town of upbringing (NYC) and starting all over in Dallas...and yet i still ponder a lot...it's like a never ending journey to find answers that of course will never come about...the answers that do come just end up beind stepping stones of progress, but they come with new questions....many times i have what i call &quot;duh&quot; days, where i just space out, ppl say i sit still forever, but the time just flies while i got thoughts running through my mind...in the car, in the office, on the place...pretty much everywhere...

 

[Imaginer]

<< Do you ever just have one of those days...or moments where you just think and stare at empty space. Where your mind is at some halt or at least you're thinking of that. Where you kind of begin to think of why you are there and why you are doing what you're doing. Where you feel that you're giving into this world and just flow in line like a trail of ants all following each other. Or like when you're driving just hearing the sounds around you, either the radio or just the sounds of the tire turning at the speed and just think of nothing. Nothing doesnt really sound possible but do you know what i'm talking about. When you drive down a freeway thinking of nothing but just following the car infront of you. Then when you look up into the sky and see an endless journey of unexplored terrain. Then you sort of question yourself in extistence of maybe something else out there. And in that particular comparison you get some strange feeling. A feeling of despair followed by some long sigh. Sorry. I've just been wondering if anyone else thinks like this in some strange odd way. Maybe I'm thinking too much and I should just finish this subway club in front of me.

Yeah, watching the Matrix gives me that feeling too.

thanks for everyone that contributed to my discussion. If there are more, please, feel free. I'm enjoying reading this. Every single word of it.

[blueghost75]

i have these axperiences too. hell, i'm only 16. i guess that could be a good thing. it seems to be a unique trait to be able to &quot;see&quot; yourself, I guess. I have only done this once when I was driving, because I normally drive very attentavely in traffic.

otherwise, I usually only do it before I go to sleep. I just lay there in deep thought.

Wow, glad I stumbled onto this post. I've been wondering if I was the only one that thought on such things. Good to know there's other people that think the same way. And on the subject of eyes, I can't think of anything more beautiful. Kinda strange how you can look at a person totally different just by looking at their eyes. I think you're right Danny, it's like a doorway. Kind of a door that you can't really shut. I love having moments like you're discussing. Makes me feel so content, or I don't know how to really describe it. Anyways, great reading.

 

[fitzhue]

DannyLove, I couldn't help but notice I also relate to your experiences. Many times I will just find myself thinking about...well...everything. All my life it seems that I have been thinking on such a small scale, but now I really take a look at the grand scheme of things. The meaning of life, time, science in general all enters my mind at one time or another. Just today I was sitting in my backyard and a bird flies in and perches on a tree. I think about how much happier it would be if we hadn't invaded its territory to build our houses. Then that gets me thinking about other things and basically starts sort of a chain reaction. Sometimes it actually scares me when i think about how little we are relative to the universe(s) but yet simple things like walking can be thought of as miraculous.
