I Have a Theory
What If Nothing Is What We Think It Is?... I have a theory that our senses are entirely unique and different from everyone else..
Haven't you ever wondered if your perception of 'green' is the same as the other person's. Sure, we all know the variety of colors and tastes and smells and feelings. But what if we all experience these things differently?
What if the taste of pizza, and the cheese and pepperoni on top of it is completely different for someone else. What if the cheese tastes like cheese to you, but also like cheese to someone else, but only completely different because you are not in THEIR body???
Sometimes I stare at colors and wonder if every one sees that I am seeing. Maybe I see blue, but if I were looking at it through their eyes i'd see purple instead.
I'm not sure if this theory makes sense to others...
But it's not going away lol.
For instance, we all think we know what love feels like. It's that feeling of comfort, etc. But is comfort for me the same it is for you? What if I felt love through you, would the feeling be completely different from anything I've ever experienced?
In short, I think we are more different than we think we are. We might think we understand each other but have no idea what it's like to be the next person.
