Mirror effects...
A friend and I had a very interesting conversation today. Opposite world.
Defined as: one or more worlds where things happen in a way totally oppsite to earth.
People say that our world is all a creation of our minds. Society, friends, families, cities, countries etc... all of these are concepts that we've created. They've been around for so long that we've taken it for granted that things were always this way. But guess what? They could have been very different. At the dawn of existence, the earth was a blank slate and slowly as we drew, scribbled and spat on this blank wall, we ended up with an intricate graffiti that is life as we now know it.
So back to opposite world... in opposite world, people walk backwards and the clocks go in anti-clockwise direction. In opposite world, smoking, drinking and drugs are considered spiritual and refusing to to do any of these is taboo! In that world people write articles and publish magazines on the critical topic of "underage non-smoking' -a social evil where people below 18 are refusing to smoke.
In opposite world, humans are born as old people. As life goes on, they become younger and younger. At the end of their lives, they shrivel up into babies and finally shrink into nothingness.
In opposite world, parents curse their fate if their children study too much. A child who studies too much brings shame upon his or her family.
In opposite world, women who are fat, disfigured and clumsy are considered to be super models and every little girl wants to look like them.
In opposite world, people only talk in abusive language because talking politely is considered ill manners. And the only thing that people talk about is sex because that's the excepted way.
In opposite world, white skinned people are highly disliked by yellow, brown and black skinned people. The whites are hated, enslaved and treated as vermin. And everybody feels really really bad about such sub-human behaviour towards them.
Just one thing remains the same in opposite world. Humans always tend to be attracted to things that are forbidden. So, in opposite world, there are rule-breakers and rebels too. But these bad asses are people who study day and night, never smoke, drink or do drugs, talk politely, get married to similarly lovely people and have lovely children.
Such a thing would sound nightmarish if we were in opposite world right now.

interesting thought... opposite word where our imagination does not end.... what is sin for me can be sane for yu... thought process.. and thats where it comes of choices... choices yu want to take... irrespective of whether yu care about society or not...
Coming to my topic what i feel about we never understanding... we dont understand because we cant really... all we can do is relate...
Well the concept of an opposite world can be hard to define. For instance, will girls start hitting on guys the way guys do now? In that case will then guys play hard to get or behave as they do now? Or what if we don't like the opposite sex at all (It would not be then consequential if they have lips of Angelina Jolie or hips of Rabri Devi.) and actually fall in 'hate' with them? Or if the more accepted norm would be liking your own sex and 'straight' people are mocked at?
Too many questions there, but a fun topic to discuss and talk about. There have been quite a few experiments and other things, but going into their details would be boring, atleast in the present world ;)
Quite like the first two lines of your last poem.
Thank you all for reading my blog...it is much appreciated. The topic of opposite world was just a casual idea that my friend and I were discussing. Taking such a topic seriously and getting into its very philosophy is a very lengthy and tedious process...I shall leave that to the more inclined...Thanks again..tc
Yeah that is what we meant when we said that 'going into the details would be boring' :)
Glad to see that we agree then. Do you refer to yourself as 'we' on a regular basis? Hmm...interesting...

Because, my love, i remember having this conversation with you...it was so whack. But it took us both to this surreal world where everything did go the way we wanted...and u missed out on some more..erm..burping and farting would be normal!
