Three Ideas That Crossed My Mind Yesterday

January 23, 2012

A girl gets up from the bed and walks to the bathroom just to find herself flooded in a few seconds. She then suddenly wakes up in this world where everything is familiar, only….younger. I had a dream about that and I thought it could be a movie script. The girl has an accident and she continues her life in the memories she gathered over the years. The others see her as being in a coma.

Some months ago I was complaining to a dear friend who has all these great ideas about how to make this world better that he doesn’t do anything about them. Now I realize that people who are just speaking about their ideas and not doing anything are just as valuable as the “action” people because they help circulate ideas. They take ideas from here and there, they sort them and combine and maybe come up with something better and then they pass it on to other people. And this way, one of those great ideas in going to get to the years or eyes or a person who’s actually going to do something about it.

I just passed a building which had written “Forever Living Products” on it and a logo of an eagle. No idea where it comes from but playing a bit with the meaning of words I got to this: why would people want to buy things that live on this planet more than they do ? People want to “bury” objects, like computers and cameras and old clothes. And when they get new ones, they feel younger. What about people buying in the second hand shops? Do they have another relationship with time and getting old and death? Like, they’re less scared of it? Just an idea.
