Day stealing is fine, since I'm writing this form another time-zone and seems like all my Saturday evenings softly float into early Sunday mornings.
Zosha was talking about her 'friend' and I am familiar with that girl as she used to scare the crap out of me as well. Ghost stories are essential in every society whether its that the monsters will come and get you if you don't finish your dinner or that some kind of fairy will collect teeth from under your pillow. Bull**** stories like this are being spread everyday by different classes in different societies in a different language. But basically the same stories.
I don't think that there are ghosts or spirits dwelling these plains to either scare the crap out of us, or keep watch of us. Is this ignorance? But hey, I don't believe there is a god either, yet I learned how to find strength in praying form time to time. Is paranormal activity just activity that's unexplainable? Or is it what we don't dare to explain?
Moving hairbrushes, falling mirrors, sensations of wind and sudden colds; I don't believe in it any more, maybe plainly because I am, truly truly terrified of anything that I can't wrap my mind about. That's why I can be afraid of falling in love or things I don't have any input in.
To be short, Ghosts and God are so not my cup of tea, but I'm not denying their existence. I just rather have them not being real.
Introducing next weeks theme: Classical vs. Popular.
(so sorry about the delay guys... guess the timezone excuse doesn't work at this point?)
nice theme :P
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's ignorance, it's just part of one's personality whether or not you believe it. Weak argument hmm, anyway, i agree that ghost stories probably found their origins in the fear of the inexplicable, may they truly be paranormal or not.
