If you could read thoughts..

[vanillabear]

Hypothetically, if for one full day you were offered the ability to be able to read the thoughts of everyone you see, talk to, encounter, etc. would you do it?

I'll clarify.. I mean that this would be a passive ability, so it requires no effort on your part - the thoughts would just flow into your head.

Just curious

 

[KiaKaha]

Yes I would. And it would confirm everything that I suspect. Besides - all of us can read minds to a certain extent.

Or I could not just care and be at peace and all of that garbage - but where is the fun in that?

 

[WishingICould]

I have SA hence i can already read minds. Duh!

 

[Lamb]

Yes, to see if my hypotheses prove correct. The curiosity outweighs potential negative outcomes. I think I could manage for one day.

 

[ImNotMyIllness]

NO! You wouldn't learn as much as you think you would. A lot of times we say things in our head that we don't mean.

Now, instead of reading cluttered minds. I would prefer to be able to read people's hearts and their intentions.

I'm with you on this. Sometimes I have songs stuck in my head on rewind even though I don't even like those songs. We are not our thoughts.

 

[Razzlecherry]

Yessir. Cuz then I could wear a costume and run around saving the world.

 

[PerseverareJasmine]

No, I feel like it would be too overwhelming to constantly have everyone's thoughts flowing into my head and not being able to be selective about it.

 

[sazz]

Yes. I'd love to know what people think about me as opposed to what they say to my face.

 

[WeirdyMcGee]

For *one* day?

... yes.

I know that what I 'believe' people are thinking in my mind is probably not what they're thinking at all and it might help my confidence a little to know that no one is actually glaring at the back of my head and planning how to knife me while no one is looking.
