Thinking

I was thinking about the ability to read minds...Wow scary thought! I tried to keep track of my thoughts for a while...thinking that if someone could read my mind...What would they think? I caught myself thinking about a rather wide array of subjects. I thought a lot about how my thoughts would make others feel. I think i passed my own little test. I could not isolate any specific thoughts that would really hurt another human.

Then i began to wonder about the human state..How do other people measure the importance of their thoughts? I know from experience that negative thoughts breed negative actions. Do violent people have the understanding of others or even them selves..to even attempt empathy? Can we train ourselves to feel empathy? If the human mind is as complex as scientists say...how could they possibly even begin to properly diagnose mental illness? I wonder how much easier it would be to aide a mentally ill person if we really knew what was going through their minds when they act out. Could the average stable person handle the thoughts of a disturbed mind. Is it really a disturbed mind.. Maybe some of these people react to the dark side of all of our thoughts. Are we all responsible in some way for the sickness in our society?

Studies frequently show that an empath can suffer severe emotional and physical pain when exposed to people who are in mental or physical pain. Could this cause one to snap?Could a child empath whom is never educated about empathy and how to control the influx of emotion and feeling grow to be disturbed? I would think that it is very likely.Our society is growing more accepting of the minds inherent sixth sense abilities. Maybe someday we will be able to recognize the ability to train the disturbed mind to Experience empathy in a positive way and better serve all humanity without the mask of psychotropic drugs and inhumane treatment.
