Life, can anything really happen?

[Richie]

Right if anyone thinks I'm mentally ill and links this to a doctor I will deny everything and say a cat walked over my keyboard and wrote this paragraph.


People are always saying 'anything is possible' but I don't think many people actually believe it or believe it in the way I do, even. I think it's absolutely insane how we live on a planet, how one life is created inside a woman, how a large lump of metal can fly over citys carrying people, how I am talking to people all around the world through a wire, how I can press a switch and a bulb comes on. I think you get were I'm coming from. I think it has gotten to the point that we have adapted so well to these and other things that we forget how amazing things really are and how anything is possible. I probably sound like a complete nut job but if the things above are possible why do people want to make others believe other things aren't. Think of something absolutely insane, something that you think could never happen and imagine it could actually happen but no-one has found out how to make it happen. I don't really want to go into what I believe is possible because personally I believe anything is possible, science is one of the best things to happen to this planet and before I say anything, I promise I'm not trying to slate science, say it's wrong or anything along those lines but I don't base the possibility on something just because it has been proven by scientists. Does that make me crazy? I don't think I'm being stubborn or believe just because I haven't proved something means it's possible.

I sound like a complete and utter psychopath, I had to post this to get it off my chest 'cause I swear I'm either going mad or just being 100% realistic, I want to know has anyone ever felt similar to the way I'm feeling?

[dirrty]

no, i understand/agree. every now and again i do reflect on just random things and think 'wow, that's really amazing'. science, technology, biology etc. allow mankind to do spectacular things (naturally & artificially), and we really do take it for granted.

i'm still legit amazed by the world wide web/internet lmao. like how it basically changed the world, and propelled the notion of globalisation even more. i always find it amazing how all of us, from different parts of the world can communicate with each other with almost no delay through the various forms of telecommunications.

but even with all these advances that we are surrounded by, and the incredible things humans are capable of, the human race are still complete utter *********.

[lawrawrrr]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU

everything fascinates me, i feel like i'm rediscovering the world sometimes when I think about it. I genuinely also believe that ANYTHING is possible, we just don't know how yet. In the universe there are infinite possibilites... inifinte meaning there is no end and they will figure out how, one day.

And think about how quick things evolve - 50 years ago you struggled to have a conversation with someone in the next town, now you can speak to someone on the other side of the world INSTANTLY. The early inventors couldn't have had an idea of quite how amazingly quickly it would grow. It's just so KJGRNJRNH, can't even put it into words how amazingly cool it is ;3

yes anything could happen i mean look at the evolution of human, so many great inventions and unbelievable things happened like a person can go to space or another planet, like there are so many impossible things that people have made it possible, maybe in the distant future we might have floating cars, or maybe we can drive to moon? or maybe we can teleport ourselves to wherever we want to go? who knows

[Inseriousity.]

It's not crazy to think that unless we're both crazy haha. There are amazing things in this world and we should be grateful for them. I suppose my problem with the 'ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE' type of people is that they fail to acknowledge the hard work, effort, blood, sweat and tears that ultimately has to go into creating something unique and this is where most people fail because they go in all naive expecting to change the world and end up resenting it instead when their ideas fail to kick off. Anything is possible but failure is also possible so please have a plan B at the very least! That is my advice to these people.

oh, absolutely. you're not a psychopath or mentally ill don't you think even illnesses are amazing? and the technology and knowledge we have to prevent and combat them? you have no idea the amount of people who've been labelled mentally ill and have done absolutely amazing things with it. i think everything is possible but the unfortunate thing is we merely dream about it and never actually go out and try anything - which is probably a good thing most of the time i believe in science, i believe in spirituality, i believe in higher power and the unexplained. of course, anything is possible but i'm just a naive dreamer...

[FlyingJesus]

While these things are massively incredible they're not quite the same as suggesting that I could make someone explode by blinking at them or whatever, because unless we were in a very specifically pressured area there's no reason as to why that could happen, whereas the things you listed like birth and aeroplanes all have real identifiable reasoning behind their occurrences. Obviously not all science is flawless as things that are held as "fact" get disproved all the time (and not always with replacement theories, sometimes just mystery) but I don't think there's really a comparable link between aerodynamic physics and faerie magicks

That said, I do think it's brilliant how we all accept electricity as something that just exists and yet no-one really has an explanation for what it really is other than a physical representation of energy

[xxMATTGxx]

In regards of the internet, it's quite funny how a newspaper many years ago laughed at the fact when someone said the "World Wide Web" will change the world. Now look at it and the impact it has had across the glove and the differences that it has made to our lives. It is actually quite amazing.

I used to always say that not everything is possible - I can't levitate right now, fly to a different universe and transform into a giant beast. However...

What if life is a dream, I wake up, and everything stated above is in fact possible? It's very unlikely, but it's possible. Nothing is impossible - only improbable.

Positive thinking, but sadly some things are impossible.
