Have You Ever Thought About the Way You Think?

Last week my roommate and I were talking about the Miracle of human existence. The conversation flowed through many different topics and ideas that all have their merits, but the one that made me think the most was when we started talking about how each person has a thought process all to their own. No two people think in the exact same way. As humans we can do a lot of things in the same way as one another. We can dress, eat, talk and look the same way but we can't think in the same way. We don't know what each other is thinking. There is no way to know exactly what a person is thinking about, or what occupies their mind. Can you imagine how difficult it would be if everybody knew what you were thinking all of the time? How would you ever know who you are? How could you know what kind of a person you were if you were constantly hearing the thoughts and feelings of others? Would we cease to have identity and become a civilization that is more of one collective being? In a world where so much of the human experience is shared and public, I find a great amount of Awe inherent in the fact that inside your head there is only you. A person's thoughts are completely their own. Have you ever thought about this? It's been something that I've been thinking about over the last few days, and I still find it amazing.
