Meaning of Life

Some questions you might want to ask yourself...

Don't tell me you never sat down on a chair and thought about who you really were, who we really were...Humans, humans, those little species that some say were created by some powerful man with a beard and some say that they evolved from apes and monkeys. Why don't you stop listening to what people says for once and actually make your own opinion of something? Something that sounds logic isn't necessarly logic. Back then, how many people used to believe that the earth wasn't round? But everything changed, we don't live like we used to, we live in a technological sophisticated era, where medias control everything.

We live in a world full of ignorant people. Don't believe me? Try it yourself: Take your coat, go outside, pick the first guy and ask him a question where he actually needs to think. You'll be surprised to see how many people are actually stupid. More than you think, and yet, we still lie to ourselves by saying that "humans are intelligent". Well guess what, they are not. If they were intelligent, no one would believe in superstitions, in pseudoscience, in ghosts or in any kind or form of abnormalities. People are being caught in their own trap of stupidity, because they create what's supposed to be something paranormal and they DO believe that it actually exists. How many times did someone tell you: "Hey, guess what I saw yesterday! An UFO! A real one!" or "I think there's a scary ghost in my room...". The scariest thing around is our stupidity, and not what we believe to be something paranormal.

Want other examples? Just log on YouTube, click any video and look at the comments. Or go outside, take the bus, and listen carefully to a conversation between two women. We believe what we want to believe and not what we are supposed to believed. That's, in my opinion, the concept of human stupidity. We think like the TV wants us to think, like the medias wants us to think, and that's what makes us stupid, because we rely on other people to create our way of thinking.

That's the very concept of when you believe something is happening or going to happen but in reality it's not, let's take this situation for a concrete example: Four friends are sitting togheter and decide that Friday night, they're all going to watch a movie togheter. When Friday night comes, the first guy thinks and says: "Well, I don't really feel like going...Too bad, they'll go all three and it won't be as bad." The second guy thinks the same way, and same thing for the third and the fourth. When they all meet up Monday at school, they all, in their head, think that the other three actually went, but in reality, nobody went to the movies. So the first guy comes and ask the second: "Hey, how as it? Sorry, couldn't come, I had to make my homework." And the second guy answers: "Oh well, I was counting on you to tell me, because I didn't go too!" and in the end, they all realize that no one actually went... That proves, in a funny but yet comprehensive way, that what we think is real isn't necessarly real.
