So I was sitting at the food court in the mall, just looking at everybody walk by. And, I tried to imagine what others were thinking. It's hard to think about sometimes. It's hard to look at another person and realize that they have their own independent thoughts. That they could think just as much as you do. It's almost overwhelming. I mean, you are surrounded by people every day. And you never really think that...every person has their own independent thought. And that they could be thinking and asking the exact same thing.

Then I tried to imagine myself as someone that I observed. I tried to put myself in their body. And see the world through their eyes. To think what they might be thinking. But I realized, it was impossible. For I was just thinking what it would be like for ME to be them. Not what its like for THEM to be them. It's impossible to know how other people feel and see the world. It's impossible to truly put yourself in somebody elses shoes. How do you know that I think the same way that you think. How do you know I see things the same way you see them?

I dont really have a point here, just kind of rambling about my thoughts haha.

I am the same way!
i always think, 'i wonder what they are thinking about right now' and it IS overwhelming, to know they have thier own thoughts and you can never hear them.

I do that all the time... I have this problem where I think too many complex thoughts and I lose track of a conversation or something like that. It's overwhelming and I can't help it.

Could be like the c, z, and x keys on my main comp's keyboard. There's not physically wrong with the keys, but sometimes they just fail to function for a bit, then work normally. I'd say a short somewhere but it's so inconsistent...

It is comforting to know that most people are basically good and if you don't prejudge them you will always find something interesting and respectful to interact with.  Accept a person for the level you are going to interact with them.  If you don't like the way they dress, keep it to yourself.  If you aren't going to date them then don't worry about it.  If their religion is different than yours then don't go there..it's none of your business.  As Martin Luther King said, "Judge my children by the content of their character and not the color of their skin."  (something close to that anyway)

You did not understand the intentions of what I meant at all. It had nothing to do with me judging them.

Yes, we all tend to think differently but the logic behind everything is the same. And the probability of two people thinking the same way is so low that i'd disregard it altogether.
