random thoughts

In a dream someone asked me a bunch of questions, at first it was the usual "how can you improve" "how can you be nicer etc", all that self reflection stuff I do. But, they started asking questions about things that I think about but havent really THOUGHT about it yk? Anyways unfortunately I couldnt answer the questions bc I woke up, but I do have answers and I feel like they are worth sharing.

1st Question "What makes a great empire?"

I said that great empires are made when they fall. This is because a great empire fosters an environment where not only do citizens have access to education but citizens who are well educated and open minded, only in a great empire will you find someone who can not only identify the fallacies in their government but also want to do something about it. Only a truly open minded person is willing to change not just their life, but their home, their support systems and so much more. Ofc the people who want change can always change it for the worst, but you wouldn't be in a great empire if you can not thrive no matter your intentions. 

2nd Question "What advice would you give someone if they asked?"

I believe that everyone should try to view their life as a movie, and they are the main character. Every day they should tell themselves that their movie will be the best damn movie ever and that their movie will not end badly under any circumstances. That their movie shouldn’t be a sad one or a boring one, but a feel good comedy is impossible to achieve. Instead their movie should be about the main character learning how to be compassionate, empathetic, logical, open minded cabs overall striving for the happiness of themselves and others. If their movie is sad so far then that’s just the plot points and the 2nd or 3rd act, and if someone believes that their movie sucks that's wrong. Nobody’s movies sucks because a bad movie based on real people don’t exist. And idon wanna hear "Erm actually, I saw a movie that was about the life of the some rando and it sucked.🤓" SHUT UP it's a metaphor, and just bc my advice doesn't resonate with you, doesn't mean you, or the people you love, or the people around you don't deserve love and happiness. Not pedos and grapists tho, they deserve the worst. 

3rd and last question "What do you think of humans as a species?"

I think that it’s easy to fall into a mindset that degrades and has little respect not for people but for humans, we do things that we know are evil and cruel, we act on impulse, we are constantly tearing eachother apart and looking for ways to be the last one standing. But I think that as much as there are bad people there are in this world, there’s an equal amount of good. I mean us as humans are naturally curious and open minded, us as humans learn from our mistakes, we learn from others, we use everything as an opportunity to learn even if we don’t realize that we learned something. If we were really as bad as we believe we wouldn’t have the capacity to experience emotions like love, kindness, empathy, passion and so many more. If we really sucked as much as we did then we would’ve gone extinct a while ago. People forget that we are the same species that split the atom, we are the same species that invented math, we made it to the moon, we have pictures of animals that look like they are made of dreams and/or nightmares. We create art, we do so much. Like I said earlier if we are as awful as we believe we are we’d be extinct, if you believe in a god then that means that higher beings see our potential, if they didn’t we’d be just like the dinosaurs, and if we don’t have a god or gods protecting us that means that we are so advanced as a species that we can do all these things and still hold out on our own. We can be evil and good and still be strong as a species. 

Anyways that was my dream and my answers, do you guys think any different?
