before takeoff: my thoughts

I may complain but I gain from this class 
"Our heads are filled with things that are not ours."
What does that mean?
We as human have these things called "brains", within the physical brain is a "mind". It can be controlled, manipulated, improved, broken, and even lost.
  • Universal Mind Control
  • Brainwashing = manipulation
  • Tryna get my mind right.
  • It gave me piece of mind
  • She must've lost her damn mind
Get it? OK

Our heads rest on our shoulders which belong to us. Our brain..central nervous system..all that jazz..ours too. The mind, though, is as much ours as it is everyone elses. It is so easily imprinted on by the world around us. How much of what we "know" can we say we would have come across sitting in an isolated room all of our lives... Without eachother, we are nothing. 
"No man is an island"
 (John Donne's Meditation XVII). 
We are all interconnected and contribute to something greater. Let's work together. We can learn so much from eachother. If we stopped fearing, fighting, and looking down on one another. You can't be an asshole for too long. If we just took the time to listen. Just imagine. Close your eyes and imagine. 

Get Me!
