Minds eye

There is something that drives me to try and find out why, what and how.

I think it is what drives me to take sociology, physiology, anthropology and all other classes that help people see who people are and what they do and why they do it.

Also taking classes that have to do with philosophy and world religions. Anything that lets me climb into your head and try to see the world through your eyes (or minds eye).

I have this games of sorts that I play with my siblings on long drives or while we are out running errands. I call it "What if?" I set up a situation and then ask them how they would react to it or try and solve it. It really lets me see the world through their eyes.

I dunno what drives me down this road of thought but it has helped me understand people more and help my friends and family.

Another added benefit is that it helps me in my writing. When you understand the thought process behind a person you can put more into a character (or at least that is what has helped me).

I think that is the reason why I really am taken by the Post Secret project and books.

It is one of the ultimate inside look at another persons brain. And how many people see the world in so many different ways. No to really judge the secret the same way.

You know the saying "fly on a/the wall" well I would really like to be a fly on the wall watching people sometimes.
