    here goes this is kind of hard to explain but ill try. Ok i had this therory that everyone sees different colors. We all would say that a bannana is yellow because thats what were taught right. Well we all see yellow but yellow to one person could tha same as green to another but they still call it yellow because thats what they were taught. Hard to explain see.

    This is one of those theories that practically every intelligent human comes to by themselves. I was just talking about this with a friend a couple of months ago. I find it fascinating; and it is probebly true at least, at some extent, because people have different dominating tones (like on television) with which they perciere the world.

    Seeing as it depends on wavelength and amplitude, I kinda doubt it. And even if what to me is red is black with green polka dots to you, I don't think it's ever provable. On another note, I came up with this theory that I'm currently dying and the life I'm living right now is what's passing before my eyes. Man, it feels like a lifetime.

    I've always wondered that too, I also wonder if we'll ever find out.
