What if you couldn't accept something, even if you knew it was true.
Not trying to piss anyone off. But I classify trans people like this.
You can believe your a woman trapped in a mans body , but that Y chromosome and dangler says otherwise. I recognize trans people have accepted it. but how many people are running around, Knowing the facts of something, being rational human beings who can never quite put an idea that is rubbish to bed.
One guy who was like pushing 50 with kids decided he was actually a 6 year old girl.
The feelings are real, No one is debating that. but am saying they don't match up to reality.
Personally I don't have a problem with people doing what they want for the most part until it starts stepping on the rights of others. Im kinda conservative. I really don't think you should be using the bathrooms of a gender you were not born as. Just sayin.
But not here to talk trans stuff, only using it as an example of
But there are other examples of what I am talking about
What if an otherwise rational intelligent person, that can think and reason and understand the world, always has in the back of their mind, suspected they are the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte ?
Now they " know" they are not. They know Bonaparte has been dead 200 years They are not going to dress up like him, because that would be foolish, and they shouldn't even entertain the silly idea.
And yet
They are troubled by dreams, telling them to go out, conquer Germany, and get Russia right this time. Some little irrational piece of their character won't let it go. Won't completely accept That its not their job to defeat , to control, to dominate, as is their divine right. Won't accept, that they are just a person, going about their little lives until they die. Like the other 6 billion Schmoes on the planet.
A. How do you react to this person, if they never did any thing crazy? And you found out when their guard was down by too many drinks of at a party. or in a moment of trust after a long friend ship confessed it.
B. What if you read this, and all of a sudden , almost like remembering something, You start getting a nagging feeling, you are Napoleon Bonaparte. What would you do ?
Long time ago there was a guy who thought he was the son of a god. Which is pretty damn irrational, but later on, People called him Alexander the Great. Something to think about.
and no I am not Napoleon Bonaparte reincarnated, that's ridiculous.
Im Julius Caesar
