NaBloPoMo asks today:
If you had a superpower to know what everyone was thinking (but not saying) would you use it?
Just think, wouldn’t growing up have been a whole lot easier if a person would have just known what people were actually thinking? Maybe that guy that you were crushing on really liked you back, or maybe he thought you were a few sandwiches short. Maybe you would have become friends with that person who seemed stand offish when in fact were really shy and were unsure whether you would accept them. Wouldn’t it have been nice to know? I definitely think so. Of course then I can imagine knowing what everyone was really thinking would be a brain overload if not highly entertaining. The superpower would be fun for a while, but if you could never turn it off it would get a bit old and could be especially annoying and infuriating if people were not entertaining nice thoughts.
Seriously, imagine having people around you thinking you looked ridiculous or thinking you just made a complete a$$ of yourself. In the long run, a person might go around pi$$ed at the world simply because they knew exactly what others were thinking but were too polite to say. On second thought, I think I would have to pass on knowing what other people are thinking. Once again G0d got it exactly right by designing each of us so we don’t know what everyone else is thinking. It is far better to wing it! Ignorance is bliss, and because of it a person can go merrily along skipping through life like a fanciful unicorn pooping rainbows oblivious. Knowing too much could only equal to more trouble than it was worth until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
