It's all in the mind

Dig....
Doesn't it seem as though you're living inside of your mind almost?
Doesn't it seem as though everyone you see represents a different idea you have about life, and therefore, yourself?
Imagine that you're inside of your mind, looking at all the different ideas going by. You look at them, and decide what they mean to you. It's the same thing with life.
You see your mom and dad, your friends, you think of love. You see Osamma Bin Laden walk by, and you see murder, destruction, hate, fear etc..
It gets even more complex. Sometimes your mom or Osamma represent smaller and smaller parts of life to you. Sometimes they're "good", sometimes they're "bad". Either way, you're defining yourself by what you decide about all of these people walking by.
If you like "this" about "this person" and don't like "that" about "that person", then that's who you are.
I know this is easier said than done, but try not to judge people so much. They're just showing you who you are.

On a similar note, do you ever realize that it's hard sometimes to admit to people that you've changed?
It's because those people have to change what you represent in their mind.
Like when you started to behave in more of an adult manner in front of people, and they looked at you like...............................whoa, you didn't used to act like that, what's going on?
You have to be like ..... yeah, you're going to have to change the file on me that's in your mind. It's difficult a lot of the time.
Eventually you just have to get used to people seeing you grow up for the rest of your life. Hopefully, they'll change the file in thier mind on you to read: This person is a changeling. See him change

If everything you believe in life you've learned from experience, the ideals and beliefs in your head must have some sort of origin, thus a character or person in your life represents that belief or ideal. You hold this ideal in your personality, and associations externally connect your mother with love and nurturing, your brother with friendship and trust, the dude you hate down the street with hatred and whatnot... it is all in your mind. woah, cool...
to support your statement, Learyfan, doing the opposite would be the wrong way to look at life. Creating a belief in your head and attaching it to someone that has none (you know too little about them to create an ideal in your head, right?) so therefore, prejudging. wow, very insightful, never thought of things like that. thanks Learyfan

Yep, i've thought the same thing recently. I was thinking that the world is like taylor made to fit me. There are things such as "good" and "bad" to go along with my ideas about that concept, there is humour, stupid humour like south park, it's like it's made for me. Everyday it's like i'm walking through my mind, like i'm the imagination of myself.

One time a roommate and I got into a fight. Over what I
forget. Not a fist fight, just an argument (which was never
fully resolved). I have not seen her since she moved out (well
once, maybe twice shortly thereafter). During our argument she said:
"Don't you see? We are all reflections of each other." I think about that
a lot. It keeps coming back to me in my experiences and interactions with
other people. I aye eye!

yup... definitely... just the other day i decided to pop in some videos my brother did with the handycam about 5 or 6 years ago... and it was shocking... as i saw myself on the screen every thought and idea i had in my mind during that time came back to me... it was weird... i knew i had changed... but this was really one hit in the face... imagine yourself about 6 years ago... with that childish voice and all... man... but its ok... and i think i have changed for good... not that i was a bad person back then... but i was a little close minded, and very immature... heh... but well... i guess that?s just the way it goes...
