Does our mind trick us?

[WaffleSingSong]

Yay, something on here that isn't about marijuana, LGBT rights or Guns! (Im looking at you, PR.)

Anyways, Hi.

I know the Title is confusing, but let me explain it.

For example, We know that borders do not really exist. And, personally, make this world worse. Yet, we let them affect the world in such a way that they seem real in our minds. If everyone just stop thinking about borders, would even the governments even exist?

Also, a lot of the things that are immoral (besides murder and stealing) are not really that bad. For example, what makes anything sexual really that bad? I know this make some people uncomfortable, but there is nothing really BAD about the subject, so why do we think so like it is?

What do you think?

i agree with you if there was no borders on our mind their wouldnt be government

Sex-Can screw you up if you're too young, is known to cause babies, and can transfer STDs. I think that there are good reasons for everything.

I think the only borders you should address are those in your mind,

as in by ref the immoral etc you are adding anothr brick to the wall.

A Masada in your mind dude is never cool

Well, I did not mean actual sex XD

I really mean like just flashing out boobs or a penis, is it really that bad? Has our mind tricked us into thinking it is? Again, I know this makes people uncomfortable, but that's the idea im talking about.

Oh shit. *Starts to run away*

I think that even if there weren't official borders certain borders would come to exist and someone always wants to be in charge so it would produce a government of some sort most likely a dictatorship or something like that where few people are in charge. the reason that i think borders will always exist is that as long as people think they own land borders will exist. If i own a certain area of land then the perimeter of that land becomes a border of where I am in charge and you are not.

I agree with you on the other stuff though certain things that are considered immoral aren't bad at all it's just a weird thing about public perception of what is right and what is wrong even though it's not hurting anyone or anything

[FreeFall]

I think we have borders to feel like we belong and have control. Like this is MY land, not your's so go away. Makes us feel safe too, to be in our area that we know and understand as opposed to wandering into a new one and having to wing it.

As for flashing people in public, it's what it is. If a person's purposely trying to make you uncomfortable, you're most likely going to be. But if a person's being casual and everyday about it, depending on yourself you may either feel awkward or like it was just another day. I see nothing wrong with nudism, but society's got us clothed.

[Silicate Wielder]

if there were no borders there could still be a government but only one in the world. so the head of that gvernment would be in charge of the entire earth, which is a BIG responsibility.

I guess clothing is supposed to protect us. when really there is no issue with it than in the modern world you can't walk out in public naked otherwise everyone who sees you is bound to be offended, unless that person is also a nudist. and if we were to all convert to nudism there wouldn't really much sexual attraction and there would be less sexual abuse in the world.

Society today doesn't see flashing your body parts as immoral, it's just generally frowned upon, because that's what mainstream society believes.
