Various Questions

We all know that the color of this text is blue (assuming you
or your computer are not color blind). We have all been trained to see
this particular shade as blue. Well, what if you could trade eye site
with someone only to find out that the shade you were both taught to
think of as blue is really what you perceived to be red? Is it
possible? You can't really disprove it because no one in history as truly
been able to see with someone else's eyesight. (Eyesight including both eyes and brain)
__________
We've all read our
history books. We've all been told that there are certain things in
history that are truths because they were written down. Well, how do we
really know that what was written wasn't fiction. I mean, I could write
out some sort of book describing the earth during my lifetime and
totally lie about it. A couple of thousand years go by, someone finds
it, and poof; it's fact. I know it sounds a little far fetch, but think
about it. The only way to have 100% proof of anything that happened is
to have someone from this time go back in time. And even what they say
happened on their return could be questionable as well. Is your brain
hurting yet?
__________
Here's a slightly moral
one for you. Which would be the less of two evils? Say your spouse
cheated. You decide to tough it out and stay. Unfortunately, the
feeling of betrayal is deep. Here is the moral issue. If you had two
choices in the stay department which would you choose? One, stay and
live with anger and bitterness that could last a life time, or, two,
stay, have your one night fling for self vengeance. Which would be worse?
I realize this is more a question than a theory, at this point, but I
haven't really rationalized out both sides. If you stay, and
essentially do nothing, living with bitterness and anger isn't that a
"sin." Imagine the pressure that would put on your life as
well as your partner's. Now the second one. Adultery is wrong. No
question. But so is anger and bitterness. Which is worse? The fling
would only really be one night of intense "wrongness", yet
the latter, over time could grow worse. Simple solution? Leave the
S.O.B...
__________
Are past lives possible?
I met an individual that could speak a very early version of Russian,
and had no clue how he learned it. He didn't even know what this
"language" was that he knew until he spoke it for a linguist.
Could it be possible that maybe past lives are real? That sometimes we
could retain our knowledge from the past....
__________
1.) Is this life real?
Is it possible that we are all just figments of someone's imagination?
2.) Do different sects
of Christianity think the other ones are going to hell cause they don't
belong to the same church, or is it they think that only Catholics are
going? (Face it; most other forms of Christianity are against
Catholics.)
3.) How do we know numbers are infallible? Have we ever had anything
infallible to really compare them to? And if we did, would we know it?
4.) If we, as humans, are merely animals, then why is it that our
species evolved to become what we are? Why couldn't the cat or the dog
have evolved to our level instead?
__________
Why do we elevate our
entertainers to the status of almost godhood? Do they truly do anything
of great importance? What about the teacher that went that extra mile
to make sure that one kid didn't fall behind. What about the volunteer
down at the shelter providing blankets to the cold? It pains me to see
the world renown actress/actor living in a multi-million dollar mansion
while the teacher heats up leftovers in his/her two bedroom rented
apartment.
