Outer space --Has anyone ever truly thought about this topic? I mean, usually when Space/Planets etc is brought up, people roll their eyes and do their best to change the subject because it's "boring". How can anyone think something so fascinating is so boring? (Wait, don't stop reading, there's more.. tons more)
Think about it this way: We're all a bunch of beings crammed into this small planet, this sphere, but there's so much more to the universe than just that. There's more to everything than the people were surrounded by, the things we "know" or learn about in school, the languages we speak, the steps we walk on. There's so much beyond us. Too much to even begin to think about that I, myself, start to question reality or even just life in general.
Am I getting through to anyone? I'm not sure if I'm putting this the way I want to put this. I've never been good at trying to intrigue someone or even get them thinking.
I remember my junior high science teacher telling the class, "For all I care, you could all just be a figment of my imagination. All of you before me may not even exist.. Heck, that includes myself."
No, he wasn't a nutball, he was actually too smart to even be just a science teacher. (Let me just put it this way for you: He's a genius) And it really got me thinking.
It's kind of depressing, not knowing. Not knowing beyond humanity, or.. anything for that matter. I think I only feel it's depressing because I'm over thinking this whole thing. Thinking about what might be out there --I'm pretty sure I have television to thank for that.
A huge part of me wants to know more about what's out there, soooo badly. Then another part of me feels that these questions are best left unanswered.
ps.
I apologize if this isn't making any sense. I couldn't sleep at all on account of all of the thinking I've been doing. I just needed to let everything out.
