What if?

Unknown userMember08 Mar 2018, 6:44 pm AEDT

What if?

I want to create a space where we can use our imaginations...

there are so many of us on here who are so very creative in so many remarkable ways...

I also believe that we are all intelligent in differing aspects of thinking

we support and show compassion to one another

many of us feel different...as though we don't fit in....don't belong...

is this really because of society's way of treating us....stigma...I am not diminishing in any way people's struggles...they are very real...

we have humour...

or is it another phenomena

what if:::

we have travelled here from another zone

we are here to observe the medical profession...I love this one...

we communicate with each other....in the real world?

which is our virtual world?

So what if

willing to add some thoughts? anyone?

Sooohhhhh anyone who wants to put forward an idea....add the far side....who is bored...

What if

I am just adding a few names .....not excluding anyone...just struggling to remember...

@CheerBear @outlander @Zoe7 @NameUnknown @Former-Member @Former-Member @eth @Mazarita @Former-Member@Silenus @Faith-and-Hope @PeppiPatty @Appleblossom @Former-Member @soul @Determined

@eudemonism @Friendconnect

please if joining in add names I have left out...Out of respect I have not included at this time those who are particularly struggling so as not to offend....

Re: What if?

@Former-Member @Former-Member 'what if we are not really who others think we are?' People take too many short cuts to fully know a person properly. Predjudices, hatred,lack of sympathy and empathy. No one knows what a person's situation is unless they can walk in their shoes..... live a day in my life then judge me.

Re: What if?

here is a new what if folks....

what if

we are living on one big stage...

the sky...the environment...the wildlife are all props....

for all of the computer buffs....virtual reality ...as like in computer games...

we are the actors going about our daily activities...

expressing and non expressing...displaying our emotions...

we are in a huge ampitheatre...one that has never before been seen on the planet we refer to as earth..

surround sound...stay with me laugh..

some being...shape...form...vision is directing us....pushing..poking ...prodding...inciting...

we are totally unaware of what is going on...

where could this idea lead?

@NameUnknown What if the 'Butterfly Effect' was real that when a butter fly flaps its wings on one side of the world on the other side there is a hurricane. Example true story English soldier saves a German soldier during WW1 that English soldier inadvertantly saved Adolf Hitler. By that one small act of goodness created so much evil where millions died.

I disagree with this airy fairy quote ...too much tragedy cannot be justified by a phrase..another form of avoidance

I think that the only way that I can come to terms with this historical event is by describing the action of one human being saving another human being..

The person whom the saved human being became was not connected in any way to the brave soldier who saved him..

What if this virtual world is the real world and the so called real world just an illusion?

@NotLabelDefined what if mental Illness is a byproduct of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? It reminds me... I really should get some pastels and some pastel paper... And begin a collection of portraits... Eude.
