The Land of Make-Believe

Self PortraitRemember the days of imaginary friends? In my early years I freely talked to myself and at times freaked my mother out to think there was someone else in our house, only to find me in deep conversation with no one but me. An only child until five years old it was a great way to keep myself company.

Fast forward a couple of decades and talking to an imaginary person out loud is not so cute. Sure we mumble things aloud at times as our minds race continuously without pause, but the full blown imaginary friend conversation days are over. So, if that’s the case and imaginary conversations are no longer acceptable in adult society why are there so many people accusing each other of imaginary shit.

Instead of the label “imaginary thinking” we call it making assumptions. And don’t get an assumption confused with intuition. They’re two completely different things. You know what I mean, the “I assume I know what you’re doing when you’re not with me and I’m sure it’s no good” based on my imaginary thinking of worse case scenarios. Or the “I know you inside and out” because of the imaginary person I have created in my mind that looks just like you. Whether it be a parent, lover, friend or boss I swear the shit is out of control.

The make-believe in people’s head should be enough to send them to the loony bin considering that dealing with them can actually send you first. Of course we would need to find some way to assess it because not enough people are in therapy. I suggest we implement a brain scan over every toilet in the world and the data would instantly upload to a master computer. If you get a purple envelope in the mail you know what the deal is. It’s off to the loony bin bitches!

But until we can get that system enacted here’s a helpful piece of advice, most of the shit in our heads is just that, shit. Sane people know how to step back and put things in perspective. Crazy people let their thoughts run wild and influence their actions. In extreme situations those imaginary thoughts send people to physical violence, cheating, stealing, verbal and emotional abuse or just plain old hurt to others and the planet.

The next time you’re dealing with someone who can’t get a grip on their imaginary world, check out. Until they wake up they’ll only cause you a headache and in some cases more.

    lol a handful of of the observations readers submit crack me up, time and again i wonder if they even read the post and reports before writing or if perhaps they simply just read the title of the post and generate the very first thought that pops into their heads. in either case, it is good to look over smart commentary from time to time instead of the exact same, traditional blog vomit which i more often than not notice on the net i’m going to play a smattering of rounds of facebook poker adios
