Okay you're gonna think this is weird but...you know how we all see the world through our own individual perspectives right? Well have you ever been convinced, as a result, that all other perspectives don't really matter and that yours is like the ultimate perspective of the universe? Has it ever gotten to the point where you're not so much living life, or controlling anything, but you're rather just watching it and it almost feels at time you're the only one actually in it?
I feel weird because I am often convinced that my perspective IS the perspective of the universe. And if that's the case then you gotta wonder what in the world that God or science was even thinking when it (randomly) decided to chose a halfwhite/halfKorean female with Asperger's from Indiana as the only perspective to see the entire world in...and why this exact time period/era in world history?
Sorry if I weirded you out. I'm not delusional or anything but I kinda have this really weird feeling about myself in regards to this topic and I am both intrigued and feared by it.
Perspective is the illusion we are all forced to live with. We can only experience the cosmos through our senses., That is just the way it is. We shall never see things as they REALLY are. Only God can do that and She is not telling us how.

@raisedbyignorance - I do that quite a bit, but I'm learning to get over that, I think. I'm learning that lots of people have interesting perspectives on life.
@ruveyn - You're right. And it's probably just as well that whatever higher power in the universe there is (I'm an atheist, by the way) should not tell us the secrets of the universe. In my opinion, humanity is just to stupid to handle that knowledge properly.
