Okay, please don't think I'm too psycho....but....

I sometimes wonder (and marvel) at the fact that we can move and think and speak....you just will it to be so and it can be done...I think that's the most remarkable thing that I've encountered.

One of my strongest curiosities is the human mind, how we can be born as strong leaders, bright and inventive, then have murderers of babies and elderly, rapists who disregard all respect for women, and greed. Insatiable, bloodthirsty greed.

You've all got some great curiosities!

White Wolf, I think us women have wondered the same about men.    We're just made different, to compliment each other I guess. Thank God we're not all the same and so easy to figure out, or where would the challenge be?  Actually from my point, if you really are interested in finding out, I read a book "What wives wish their husbands knew about women." By: Dr. James Dobson.
It is what we'd hope you all would understand.

Heck, women want to know why they think the way they do. I know I do. haha.

I think I'm most curious about religious things. How we got here, What happens in the afterlife, etc etc...
Thinking of that stuff upsets me cause I can never ever figure it out.

And of course...Cheese.

I'm always curious as to where thoughts come from...and yet knowing that nothing new exists under the sun...

and where those marvelous stone carvings in hillsides came from, long before man was known to roam the earth....

and why the human body acts as it does when the right one really does come along...

as far as the dogs knowing of dogs outside when the doors and windows are closed...same can be said of cats...which doesn't answer the question...

any why do we lose the ability to think like children the older we grow...

oh goodness, Whtdove, you just had to ask about curiosity...

we could all fill books, I am sure!

Why I keep finding birds? I've found 3 parakeets, 2 cockateals,  and a greenwing macaw within 5 years. I still have 3 of them.
Not to mention the wild birds such a baby blue jay, that one I released.

Exactly Dopey....one time the plane I was in just took off, and I saw this one guy in the middle of a street, walking all alone.  Noone else around.  It was like a farm.  I was wondering about his life.  I never knew he existed and he doesn't know that I exist at all too.  And there I am looking at him, thinking that he has his own life too.

Yea, planes do tend to take off acire.


Actually whenever I'm in a car....usually shotgun, I think about all those other cars..and there's people driving them and I wonder where they are going, why they're going there and so on.
Like all these people on my same road...people i've never met, and we're all somehow going in the same direction at that same moment.....a slight connection, and then they pull off a ramp and i never see them again

I do that too...stare into people's cars when I go past in the bus and get a quick glimpse of boxes and papers and coats in the back seat - all those things that mean nothing to me but make up the fabric of someone's life - and I'll never know the importance or significance of those things

Brrrrrrr...shivery...

I want to know why peanut butter goes so well with chicken.

Ok, OK, I do the same thing too. Weird, I wonder just how many people do this.

I look at the cars zooming around me sometimes and think these are all God's children. Wonder if they know about Him?
Wonder where they're going, wonder what their life is about.

Oh I beg to differ.

This is an oriental peanut butter sauce with onions and ginger and soy sauce and curry powder and things - and all combined and poured over chicken = mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...try it, you will be surprised.

Well only if you like oriental food.

Peaches and mashed potato...you're just desperate Javs..

I wonder about people on buses yanno. (I'm fixated with buses because I take one at least twice nearly every day). What do they think about when they stare out the window?

Yikes, so many things..Why true love is impossible..or at the very least extremely evasive?

How does TV actually work..I know the technicalities, but it still amazes me. Same with phones, and now computers. How can wires and such make these things happen.

Why do we have to age physically, when we are not doing so in our hearts, minds, souls?

And the big one..the afterlife, God, Goddess, Heaven Hell controversy. How is it that each religion is right, and they proclaim all others to be wrong. Who is in charge here anyway???

So what I'm saying....isn't that the ageing of the soul? The maturity and growth?
