Someone Else

Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be other people. What it's like to feel what they feel, see what they see, live what they live. What it's like to keep their secrets and feel their pain. And also their happiness. I wonder if colours look different to them. If they see the world how I do.

But it's not difficult to know what it's like to be someone else. You can know it right now. It feels like this. Because we're all other people. None of us are the same, but we all have that in common. We all feel, see, and live. We all keep secrets and feel pain. And we're all happy sometimes too. We all see colours. We all see the world.

We are all uniquely the same, and identically different.

And then there is God.

@Pfuzylogic: I refuse to believe in God not because of science but because God is about as credible to me as fairies. A ridiculous idea that belongs in children's fairytales. But that's just what I believe.

Our tools are only limited by our imagination to create them. Our understanding of the Universe is only limited by the tools with which we study it. Ipso facto, the limits of our understanding are the limits of our imagination. We have limits. That doesn't imply there's a God to easily explain away anything we can't comprehend.

@RoboChloe: I don't believe in fairytales either. I do believe a Messiah came to Earth to witness the truth, hence my response to your post.

@Pfuzylogic: There's not much I can say to respond to such blatant indoctrination. I can understand somewhat a belief in a higher power, but a messiah bearing witness to the truth? If someone came to you now claiming to be a messiah, and you genuinely took them seriously, your point would have validity.

I have a certain level of respect for faith. Not so much for religion.

But I have nothing against you. Genuinely. I wish you happiness and success. I apologise for any offence. Goodbye and good luck. 🤝

To be in someone else shoes. Is to live exactly like them, experience the trauma they endure, enjoy the moments they found something that makes them smile. A person has a story to live through, each individual lives completely differently, how we understand the world on whom we are raised by. I can't ever wonder what it like to be someone else but I know this much. I can not unseen, unlearn, deexperience which is not a word I think. I will just be the same but in a different body that could be more fitter, blind, riddled with pain.

Our differences are not as big as they sometimes seem.

this is why i'm on primitive medications to keep me alive but in pain and people preaching to me that opiates are bad who never had a slice of pain in their lives and why my wife vomits in the middle of sentence because she wants to live and is on chemo for her cancer.

wow.

That's true, but it's the degree to which we are different that separates us from groups. Categorizing matters all too much in a world where people should relate more.

I question the same thing too. I know I don't have the normal spectrum of emotions.
