[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 4044410, member: 35678"] Aye, I know what you speak of MR. My mind can have odd revelations/thoughts of sorts which really... disquiet me. Part of it comes from me thinking too much about things, and part just seems to come unbidden and uninvited. Often, it's be on a bus on my way to school (with my headphones on), or on a walk, or in the shower or in any other number of semi-private events. I suppose one of the most eerie ones I've had which I recall right now is how random we come to be. I mean, let's say you and I are both, of course, well aware that [i]we are[/i]. We are here, we are alive, we are living our lives - and yet our lives are simply a legacy of our parents, who were brought together by events which influenced them in their lives, which in turn (their lives, I should clarify) were started by their parents/your grandparents, and so on and so fourth. The circumstances which brought you to be in the place you are now stretch so far and wide that it is incomprehensible. The impossibility of circumstances that brought us to the present, through wars, famine, plague, hardship, the elements, assassinations, murders, accidents and all the other occurances, mishaps and misfortunes of our ancestors is on a scale we can only look at the tiniest tip of its iceberg and say "oh, that's my life right there, and I'm basically ignorant of all the rest of these factors." Your ancestors have such a huge influence on your life, and yet we humans realise this not, so focused are we on the present and the future. It's hard not to look to the new dawn and forget the blaze of the old one, or the millions of ones before it, and yet these days well-lived by those before us brought us fourth to the now. It's an eerie thought, indeed. cheers, --N [/QUOTE]
