I have a very active imagination,has anyone ever wondered why we do the things we do,eg;eat through are mouth and poo through are bums,why not the other way round.Why do walk with are legs not are arms,why are we made to look like this,and the one that really gets me is,who thought to call things the names they are.I mean why is a cup called a cup and not something else.Am i the only one to think like this,or are there more people out there like me,please let there be more,i don't want to be the only crazy person on here

I think about this stuff too, especially why we call things certain things and other languages call them something different. As far as eating through the mouth and other phsyical stuff, I just figure that's how we evolved, because it served some type of purpsose for our survivial, and we're descendants of that...I guess lol. The same thing goes for why we call things what we call them. A long time ago, maybe people needed to distinguish different things from one another, so they needed to be creative. So, a person would look at a certain animal and say, "cat" and look at something else and say, "dog" or whatever. And they just passed those meanings on to us through the ages. For example "house" in Arabic is "bayt." Why? because that word comes from a verb that means something similar to living or dwelling. But what about the original word? Someone probably just decided what they wanted to call it, and then they created a word based off of that and so on.

First of all you are not crazy, you just have deep thoughts.. Not a lot of people sit there and think about these kinds of things.. Just have the additude that its there why worry or question it.. Those are very good questions, but I have no idea what the answers could be.

This stuff crosses my mind all the time. Like how babies eyes are so big and how like they never grow. Or like how ears grow forever. It's amazing. It's a part of the miracle of life. It makes me believe that there is some higher power in this world despite all of the terrible things that go on.
