Thoughts On A Ferry

Tweet

  
   As the ferry is gliding towards the Seattle Bay, I’m looking out the window and pondering the ways of the world. The Isle is so beautiful. Full of forest filled inlets, sail boats and beach houses under a bright blue sky. I watch the people around me, playing cheerfully and gawking at the birds and scenery. Not a care in the world, or maybe they’re just good at hiding it… How interesting it is that this world we see is all ours to share, animal and humans alike, yet we found a way not to appreciate it by being run by money.

   I have yet to understand why we run the world this way. Prime example is a father asking his kids right next to me, “How much are you willing to pay? What’s it worth to you for the donuts? I’ll write up the contracts.” It’s all in jest I know, but it’s an ingrained mindset in every human.

   Everything costs money. It amazes me that we have to pay a certain amount to receive anything we can produce ourselves, but if we try to collect certain things like rain water it’s illegal. You can only see and do things if you have money. You have to work “that job” to “pay the bills”. You can’t do what you’re passionate about because “There’s no money in it” or “I don’t have enough money to start it up”. Everyone is stressed because they owe people money and barely make the rent. Why can’t people just sit on a ferry and be happy? The truth is we do it to ourselves.

   The only reasons why our world runs like this on a societorial level are because enough people believe in it, or a person in power made it a rule and not enough people rejected it.

   Close your eyes and think on this. Picture a world that had no money. A world where you gave your share to humanity and lived life. All of your money problems disappeared because money didn't exist anymore.

   How did you feel? Happy? It feels good right?

   Constructs, beliefs, rules etc. are in life because of what we believe and what we accept. The way the world starts to change begins only when we begin altering our minds on a worldwide scale.

Down The Rabbit Hole

   Yesterday my girlfriend and I had a very nice dinner with an old friend of mine. After eating some amazing food that he cooked, we lounged and talked for a while. 

   After a few drinks, our conversation steered to plausible future outcomes. We spoke of numerous ideas from aliens contacting us on a worldwide scale to Elon Musk's idea that our life is a simulation. For each one, putting aside our beliefs, we spoke on what we would do and what our reactions would be if these outcomes were to happen. 

   This is what I like to call, "Going down the rabbit hole". Imagining yourself in a world where a certain outcome happens and putting yourself smack in the middle of it. I feel it's an excellent way to open your mind to yourself and others around you. Since the outcomes are so varied and of different depths, there's never one answer to any of the situations. You get to witness a person's thought process of realization and solution along with your own.

   To me, it lets me experience a person's core beliefs, and in a way their primal beliefs. If someone where to be proved they were completely wrong in their beliefs, how would they deal with it? Would they fight for freedom of the race or creed, or would they let someone else do that so they could take care of the weak? These situations delve into various archetypes, such as the warrior and the healer. 

   If you want to work with someone, this might be an interesting way of learning about them. It lets you know whether they're open enough with you to share these thoughts, or closed and guarded. I'm accepting of any belief, as long as it abides by Natural Law, but would it be wise of me to work with someone who cannot think outside their own beliefs? There are a plethora of ideologies out there, why not be open and accepting of them? 

   If you were able to be in someone's shoes and see the world how they see it, that level of understanding would break down walls and procure friendships. It would give both parties a view of how they handle situations, how they think, and a bond that goes deeper than normal friendship.
