The other night i was having one of those 2 am conversations you're never supposed to have sober... you know the ones. Anyway, i was chatting with a friend of mine about reincarnation. She was saying how some people are old spirits and some of us are new and so on. at first i was like, okay. then i started thinking. maybe she's right. Did you ever stop wonder why some people are so much better at things than other people? Or why some people can learn things so quickly? Did you ever stop to wonder why that is? Maybe, just maybe those of us who are instantly good at things have been doing it for a while... like in other lifetimes. Maybe we learned a long time ago. Think about it. Take for example: someone who can write, paint, draw, etc... and they're equally good at all of those things. Did you ever stop to ask why? Think about it. Where did the phrase "Reniassance Man" come from? During that period of time, people were all about Art and Enlightenment. Perhaps back then, they knew. They understood. And today, we have simply forgotten the simplicities of the matter. I don't know. I sound high right now. I'm honestly not. Nor am i drunk. But why is it that if someone has a thought like that these days that everyone automatically assumes the person is on something? Why can't we be thinkers like during the Reniassance? During the 1700's it became herecy to think like that. is that where the fear to think differently comes from? Of course it has something to do with it. We still think today that we will be burned (perhaps metaphorically) at the stake if we say that reincarnation is possible. But why is that? My friends have always laughed at me because i tend to think very philosophically. They don't laugh because it's different; no, they laugh because i only think that way after midnight. And what time is it now? But 1:20 a.m..... ha! funny. I always said i must've lived during the Reniassance. I wonder if i ever met Socrates. (i am perfectly aware he didn't live during the Reniassance)
