49 humans are such foolish creatures

the question pops up once again- the one about Truth and lies, about reality and imagination. maybe it's because i watch too many animes. it's somewhat related to the theme of uncertainty, which was the theme of tecbc this past weekend, but it's much more than that. our past shapes who we are now, the emotions we feel, the way we react, the thoughts in our brain. most of the reason we do the things we do is because of what we believe and most of what we believe is because of what we experience (not simply physical experiences but even if we read a book or processed ideas).

so pretty much if we change our beliefs, we change our actions, perhaps even emotions. what about when we change our past? what if we reprogrammed our minds and alter our memories of the past? what if we reinvent stories of the past? only you would know what really happened, and even then, maybe you won't. it takes too much effort to validate the stories anyways and perhaps you won't even need it.

my thoughts of dramatic events are questioned and i often wondered whether it was actually real. why not reinvent scenes in life to add depth and interest? the validation of these scenes to me would be just as "real."
