I'm sort of exhausted mentally, but my mind still finds a way to just keep thinking...or just bringing stuff to mind. So I thought of something interesting as I was walking from the bathroom back to my room (TMI I know :P you're welcome).
It was simply this: we are limited only because we aren't aware of the tools at our disposal. I also assume that some topics are things we aren't interested in. For example, there are plenty of ways to learn new skills and languages to expand one's understanding, but some people don't find any kind of interest in this causing them to possibly miss out of opportunities. Let's say that there's a 1 percent chance of them changing due to taking that initiative to learn something new from gaining knowledge from a particular place of particular person that is completely foreign to them, this could open a bunch of doors.
So say someone learns a language, and they meet someone that is a native to that language. They learn something new from this native that is completely mind blowing, and possibly, something that would've have learned regardless (let's say it's based from their culture). Now we could argue that a person can learn this same thing even from their own land, but (and this a huge BUT), the knowledge obtained from a source in which a person is directly capable of understanding it, is different if someone is translating this information.
It's like reading a novel and experiencing all that goes into it (and truly understanding it) as opposed to someone telling you about it. The experience is different.
So, this slim chance of gaining some new fond knowledge opens doors.
This is my theory. So say that learning a new language is the tool to understanding a bit more about life. Now, let's say that we're uninterested in this or have any idea that it exist. We are limited to the world we live in despite the fact that something exist even without us being aware of it. It's a tool to help deepen our understanding of something beyond out daily lives.
The issue is that if someone is unaware of something, how do you come to be aware of it? This is tough. It's like having a shadow looking down, or knowing that you can even look down.
Well, I'd like to think that there are people in the world capable of using these "tools", but the ideas seem so far-fetched or outlandish that we couldn't even believe they let those words slip out their mouth! Blasphemy!
An interesting thing happened during my lunch break today as I read a book titled "Nostradamus for Dummies" in which there was a statement that people during his time thought it was "strange" for some to think the world revolves around the sun and not the other way around.
Well guess what? We acquired the tool to prove otherwise right?
So, what does this say about things going on in our lifetime. We are quite unaware. Honestly this makes me wonder if we will ever truly be aware of everything! Consider this, we are a tiny speckle in a greater cosmos. Firstly, to assume that there is no life beyond us is a bit weird in my opinion. Secondly, reality is a strange thing because it's visually and mentally different for each person and it's factually the same.
Something I read years ago is that life is full of contradictions. For example, it can be daytime and nighttime on Earth, but not in the same place, but it's still something that happens.
Of course, I find it tough to express these things and words and it's easier to comprehend and express when I don't even try. The thought came to me, and I understood it, but the moment I sat down to try and express it I found it tough to find the correct words. Yet, I hope I explained it in a way that can be understood.
Something I would like to understand a bit more about are dimensions. I'm seriously not into science, but I love microscopes, the idea of the universe, and the infinity of numbers, but it's not my cup of tea lol I'm a walking contradiction myself, but those topics are not something I'd readily pursue, especially if I go to school for it and am tested on my "grasping" the concepts the way it's written. This is why I didn't like school. School made me feel dumb and I honestly didn't care much for it haha
I'm thinking I'll do more of these quick theory blogs when I get more thoughts like these. I just found it interesting and I started to wonder if we are limited due to our lack of awareness of what we're truly limited to. I know we can't "fly" in the sense that we aren't equipped with wings, but we can fly by plane. There are plenty of steps forward we can take, but it does take seeing everything to get that.
But I will write more. If I don't write I definitely know I'll be thinking about them. Before I go, I'll update you on what I've been up to. Recently I've been reading (shocking! I know haha) a book about Nostradamus. I only know so little about him, so I'm interested in learning more. :) Also I learned a little about the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Saurat George (I hope I didn't butcher that) and how this Island is an actual place! My mind was blown haha but it was blown even more by the fact that Claude Monet created a few art pieces of the Island. The Island was well known for it's artist. :) It's pretty neat.
Also, this helped me to understand that the world is pretty huge! And I know so little about it (I didn't pay much attention in history. Shocker!? lol felt it was quite biased in what they decided to teach us), but I'm making up for it slowly but surely. I do enjoy learning things at my own pace.
Anyways, that's my simple little theory. Basic, but perhaps it will blow someone's mind haha who knows.
