Our thoughts are about our future, the &#39;people&#39; and things around us.&nbsp; Our thoughts are about the past, or things that have already happened and come about. When we think about the present, we are still putting &#39;ourselves&#39; or &#39;I&#39; in another dimension as nobody else is there with us and cannot know what we are thinking, whereas they &#39;are&#39; with us in our physical being.&nbsp; </li><li>Also, things cannot change in our minds, without our permission or without us letting whoever&nbsp;&#39;I&#39; is&nbsp;to pass them. In our physical being, with other people, things change beyond our control. Our physical being is inconsistent whereas our minds are whatever we want them to be.&nbsp; </li></ul><p>This was a question I recieved in my Philosophy class today and it really intrigued me. Giving a quick thought, this is what I came up with so far. What do you think?</p></p> <p> <b>Tags:</b> </p>
