Far Far Away Land


Early yesterday morning, on my way to work,still furious that i have to go to field that morning haven just returned from one the previous day, i saw a small school boy around the corner, hiding beside a car. There he was counting a huge sum of cash and at the same time trying to remove some and hide the rest. So i confronted him, then he claimed that it was his school fees. I had no choice but to believe him,i wish i knew what was on his mind at that very moment,but i cant, and i will never.

Einstien said "in our endeavor to undestand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears its ticking, but he has no way of openinig the case. If he his ingenious he may form some picture of the mechanism which is responsible for all the things he observes, but he may never quite be sure his picture is the only one which could explain his observations. he will never be able to compare his picture with the real mechanism and he cannot even imagine the possibility of such a comparison."

Now am trying to relate this to the human mind,one can never open to see its contents we only see the actions performed as a result of the thoughts going through the mind, although we may try to describe the mind in terms of the body's physical output,but we can never be sure that our assumption is right.
Like the man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch ,we everyday try to understand the thoughts and intentions going through the human mind, we even have psychologists to this effect.

The truth is the mind is a far far away land, it's as far as one can imagine, and worse still, no one has been there. You can only take my word for anything i tell you, that is why deception is an attribute of the human race.

just imagine,if we could read the human mind! Yes! There would be no secrets, no intentions, what you think, i know!

There is a popular saying "if you study me you would not Graduate" that is true because the mind is dynamic and unstable most times.
Most of us dont even know what is actually going on through our own mind, talk little of someone else understanding it.

So the next time Facebook asks you "whats on your mind" be honest and just say " i dont know" or " i cant explain".
