What if every question is rhetorical?
What if every answer is just our understanding of the question and perception of what we think we want the answer to be?
What if life is a dream and we create everyone in that dream through our perception of them?
What if our perception of others is just a reflection of how we feel about ourselves?
What if everyone else only exists in our head?
What if nothing is ever anyone's fault?
What if everything is everyone's fault?
What if the only way to grow is through discomfort?
What if our comfort zone is a mental prison we built to numb ourselves out of reality?
What if our desire to change other people is our inability to accept ourselves?
What if there is no way to ever change anything outside of our own mind?
What if reacting negatively to our reality creates a negative environment?
What if the only thing that we ever have any control over is our ability to accept the story we are a part of?
What if everyone has their own reality?
What if no one ever sees or exists in the same world that we do?
What if we just let go of all of that and go with the flow?

That's a whole list of topics to write articles about for blog :p Thanks @clayboyn ;)
What if everyone else only exists in our head? if so, then i would be able to control your destinies, and as figments of my imagination, i can do away with you at will. since i cannot do this, you are not just solely in my head and the question is not only rhetorical but moot. and if it is not rhetorical, the others might not be either. i have neither the map nor the territory. therefore there is only one logical thing to do. go to sleep and dream.
What if you can do away with people at will by simply letting go and moving away?
i guess i deserved that.
First of all, this is a great post!
"The map is not the territory" - each one of us has a different reality because the information coming to us from our senses processed differently for every person. The implications are that there is no absolute reality :)
Which also means that our brain giving the meaning to stuff... Which also means (Ironic) that there's no absolute meaning to life :D
Please check my blog for this kind of stuff. @paps
What if the Mormons are right about everything?
To them I'm sure they are.
The Steemit philosopher. Cool post. Resteemed
:) Much love to my Australian sister down there on the bottom half of the world. <3
Back at you 😊
It feels like you just took all of this question from my brain...those "what if"s often don't let me sleep...overthinking is gonna kill me one day :D
It's almost like we're all pretty similar on a bass level. Almost like we're all one. :)
Agree...i do believe that we are all connected through this enormous energy that connects us with universe. Even if sometimes we may look at someone and ask ourselves "me? Connected to this person??!! No way" Sooner we feel that connection, better. Because then we can live in peace and harmony. But again maybe it's all in my head...and i'm an alien who sees the dream ;)
You aren't the only one. :P
Excellent questions, especially the last one.
What if the only way to truly be happy is to go with your flow? I know, for me, being authentic to who I am every moment and listening to my feelings because they never lie (and thoughts often do) is my strategy for living life. Overthinking anything will drive you to madness. I know from personal experience.
Wise words. :)
If all of us could learn to "go with the flow" life would be heaven on earth and the possibilities would be endless.
I feel that it happens for all of us when it needs to and how it should. I think of us all as one at the source consciousness.
