Strange situations that make me wonder about stuff.

Sometimes I wonder: is it better to try something new or to follow what generations have experienced before us??? What is the best way to go about life?

And another question pops into mind: what is the best way to understand a given situation? How can we trully pereive it? Can we only do it by our means of undestanding our surroudings OR can we really undestand the situation without any interference of our own ideas and pre-conceptions. 

So the related questions come naturally:  if in the past we've been maltreated, can we ever be at ease in strange situations where we are not completely sure what is going on? EVEN if we are with people that we are sure love us dearly?  What is it that make a good friend? Or a partner? What can we expect from others? Or are we truly alone in this earth? This really scare me, I donnot need people to assure me that everything will be fine, but when I feel that the people that really matter in my life are unable to do so, i feel lost and hollow.

But at the same time I ask myself if it is only my way of computing it in a emotional way...and I lack in objectiveness. 

I need a vacation.

Dreaming awake - universe and dinosaurs

I woke up this morning to a thought that I find quite elegant and pleasing; it has to do with dinosaurs and the universe.

I was like: " whaaaat? Can it be real? " well, it can, in my head and in this blog it can.

In the last two days I've read Calvino's short story "the Dinosaurs" ( thoroughly recommend it) and seen, what I think is the first episode of " through the worm hole" where they explained the M- theory. 

A propos, I never really agreed with the Big Bang theory, of course I will never say it's bonkers, because I ain't a scientist or anything, but it never convinced me in the whole, so some time ago I learned about some of the different theories about how the universe began, some of which I could see as more plausible. I also think that we will never really know what happened, because humans are a proud lot, whatever we find out will serve to demolish or confirm something we already though through...with our limited means that we only develop by understanding our limited surrounding.

Anyhow, back to my crazy though: taking into account the fact that we also don't exactly know what happened with the dinos ( yeah yeah, I know, the meteor...) and taking into account the membrane theory, by which there are different universes only a small distance apart, what if the extinction or the appearance of the dinosaurs is due to a small collision of two universes, where two parts merge and puff, the mighty dinos are gone. 

There, I said it. I am aware that I was half asleep! and that it's still early In the morning for me. But I thought I would share it with someone before I forget my half-awake dream.

Strange Situations That Remind Me of My Birth Place

• on the train, coming back home from a day of hard work finishing up a project: I look out of the window, it is a dark winter evening and I see a house by the train tracks, and it is an odd sight as I can discern exactly what the entrance looks like, with its walls made of planks of wood, illuminated by only ine light bulb, the garage roof overhead and a window made of horizontal glass panels. 
• Reading a book, it is a short story by Jorge Louis Borges, and it is placed in buenos aires. I can feel the summer wind of the south, that precedes a storm, on my face, bringing relief to the extreme heat, and I don't experience it in this country, and only people from that part lf the world can understand exacly what the main character is experiencing.

Many times we perceive the world with our memories.
