[i]You ask too many questions[/i] I was once told. They way I see it, how are you going to learn unless you ask...right? The problem is my questions are never easy. Mostly they are about things I would like to experience but probably never will. Like, has anyone ever wondered what is behind a black hole? I mean we can speculate but we can never really know for sure. And is it really a hole? Why can't light penetrate it? As a child I fantasized about a parallel world behind it. Like time travel, behind the black holes lay our pasts and our future being eternally re-lived. Are aliens real and have they been here? It is hard enough for me to wrap my mind around a never ending universe much less to think that in all that vast infinity there is not another single life form. The trouble is I am a skeptic. I've heard stories about abduction, but I just don't believe...sometimes I wished I could be abducted but be returned unharmed of course...lol... Are heaven and hell real? I've heard about near death experiences. Once a teacher was telling us that she actually saw hell. She said that she saw the tunnel everyone talks about but then, she was pulled down into and found herself in front of a sandpit with hands coming out of it moaning and trying to pull her in. She didn't see more because she was brought back. A second chance she called it. A chance to make amends. So all I've got to rely on are second hand stories again...and faith alone? Judge is still out on this one. I also wonder about people that have passed away. Like what happened to Amelia Earhart? Will we ever learn the truth? Where did the Mayans go? Why is there no human trace of them? I wonder about the pyramids, and stonehenge, and easter island, the landing field in Machu Pichu that can only bee seen from the air and that can't be reached by land. Who put them there and why? What is their purpose? LOL...there I go again. Obviously its a slow night and with nothing to do my mind just wanders on and on. I'll probably never have answers to most of these.
