I can't get someone off my mind, and I have been wondering why. I am not talking about the traits of this particular person with whom my thoughts are absorbed, but the biological reasons why I continue to think about him. Are there biological reasons? And if there are, why do we focus on one person in particular?
I feel like these are probably questions that seem really simple, but if you take time to consider what I am asking, you may see it a little differently.
I understand that there is "chemistry" between people, so is the memory of that chemistry what keeps us thinking about that person? If so, why is he always on my mind? (Like a headache, as I recently analogized.) Is that chemistry still going off in my head?
That thought brings me to the idea that time is a construct. This is not an easy concept to explain, but what it boils down to is this: Time is fictional. It is something that we, as humans, have created so that our minds can physically process everything that is happening to and around us. In this theory, since there is no time, everything is happening all at once.
Now, if this were true, all of my questions previously posed are invalid for the reason that he is always on my mind is that he never leaves my mind because time does not exist.
Woah.
My questions are obliterated into the past...except they aren't, because the past does not exist since everything is happening at the same time(!).
Is this the answer to all of life's questions? Probably.
Enjoy pondering.
