Discovery.

Okay, not really a discovery, more of a confirmation towards a statement.

I performed an experiment on myself and found out that maybe this statement could be true.

"You can imagine anything to be, so much so the make believe becomes real."

What say you?

It all started one day, when a visitor came along to our house, she started talking about her sister-in-law who turned out to be pretty wacked up. Priorities all over the place, rationale blown out of proportions. Basically she was a hay-wired catastrophe of a time-bomb waiting to explode. Or so she made it sound like that. But anyway, fast forwarding here a little, she mentioned something about what her shrink friend said could be the source of the problem with her sis-in-law's mind.

Numero uno: Hereditary. Somewhere along her family line lays a possibly problematic person.

Number 2 : Cognitive. This means, she thinks it up. Make believe. She creates problems in her head then makes it seem real. For example: She imagines having a fight with her husband which of course did not take place in the natural then starts fighting with him about it. Of course the poor soul has no clue what the woman's screaming about.

Which makes me wonder if this really can happen. Can we average human beings literally make something up and then bring it to reality?

So, I decided to experiment this curious possibility. First, I have to come up with a situation.

I decided then situation would be that my hated Economics teacher purposely failed me to spite me.

It didn't really work, because I realized that I already dislike him. So, I tried something else.

I imagined my friend betraying me. Doing something that would really hurt me. At first it didn't really click but as I began to just play around the idea and put myself into this situation, I started to get really angry with my friend, so much so I didn't want to talk to my friend, in the natural. It was quite phenomenal as I began to dislike someone I am in perfectly good terms with, simply because I could imagine a bad situation.

The experiment requires some time and if you do want to try it please remind yourself that you are just faking it. You don't want to end up hating someone you like.

We have such a cool brain.

But as I kept pondering upon it, I realized that imagination is something people use (maybe a bit too much) for good and for bad.

Good examples: Business strategies and team building. By putting yourself in a situation you can

sort of asses situation with almost really.

Bad examples: Escapism, which is basically lying to yourself. Like imagining you're married to Johnny Depp, I guess that's why a lot of girls get obsessed over their men. Not all, just some. SOME.

(If I don't specify the 'some', some people will start swearing at me for no apparent reason at all).

But anyway, as a conclusion, the brain rocks. Use it well.
