I am so sick of thinking. Not of "philosophical musings" (as mentioned in my previous blog), but of thinking. Of decisions. Of weighing up the pros and cons of things. If only the type of memory erasing that exists in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind was possible. But not for memories. For thoughts. *sigh* I often wonder how life as an animal would be. Not a dog or anything big and domestic. Perhaps a snail - slow paced. Or a fish, a goldfish. I used to wish I was a fish when I was young, so I could stay at the beach and in the water forever.
I wonder. Dogs (and some other animals, I s'pose) can get human ailments such as arthirtis and pneumonia and stuff. I wonder if they can get mental illnesses. Hmm. OK, so I haven't heard of any animal with schizophrenia. But why not. I'm sure they could. Somehow. When I become a psychologist I shall investigate on animals :) ...if I become a psychologist. An animal psych...hmm. Is their such thing? I could become the first :) I wonder if animals find their daily tasks and problems as daunting as we can sometimes find ours. Would a meerkat think "farout, time to scavange for food again, arghh" or a chimp complain "my arms hurt from swinging!"? You probably think these are completely stupid questions, but unless you have been a chimp or a meerkat before, you wouldn't know the answer and hence, my questions aren't stupid :)
Hmm, I am having trouble understanding the mind-body concept. I am not sure what the actual concept is, but I don't get why one can't be another, so to speak. Or why one can't be born an animal. Well obviously because of the parents. But thearetically... why isn't my mind in the body of a giraffe for instance? Hmm.
Well I have probably lost everyone (anyone?) right about now, so I will cease to write my seemingly "abstract" thoughts before someone actually thinks I was meant to be an animal and chucks me in a zoo :) ...and because I'm starting to think I am sick of philosphical musings - I realised they're a bit like maths, they're hard to get your head around so after a while you just want to forget about them *sigh*

Did you know fish can get sea sick?
Not the same type of sea sick as humans??
I forgot about that, but I did realise they can get eaten (by sharks) :)
Well humans are created superior to animals...I should think we have rather separate thought systems.
yes, I should think so too, it sounds logical enough, but I don't really think logically lol...but yes, you are most probably right, arghhh I wish I had a 3 second memory like a fish! :(
