When you close both of your eyes you see black, but when you close one you don’t see half black.

Thought of the Day: Daydreaming
Can you daydream at night? Certainly! Daydreaming is typically associated with being lost in thought or imagination during waking hours, but there’s no reason why similar mental processes can’t occur during the night. When we’re asleep, our brains are still active, and dreaming is a form of mental activity that can involve imaginative scenarios, problem-solving,Continue reading “Thought of the Day: Daydreaming”
Thought of the Day: Sleep
In order to fall asleep we need to pretend to be asleep. It may appear true on the surface, especially if someone is trying to simplify the concept of falling asleep or is using metaphorical language. The idea of “pretending to be asleep” might resonate with the notion of relaxing, clearing the mind, and lettingContinue reading “Thought of the Day: Sleep”
Thought of the Day: Straws

Thought of the Day: Empty Room
You’ve never been in an empty room before. The truthfulness of the statement “You’ve never been in an empty room before” depends on the interpretation. If taken literally, it is highly unlikely that any person has been in a room completely devoid of any matter, including air molecules. In that sense, no one has indeedContinue reading “Thought of the Day: Empty Room”
Thought of the Day: Condoms
Condom companies technically kill their future customers. The statement you’ve made seems to suggest a paradoxical viewpoint. While it is true that the use of condoms can prevent pregnancies, and thus, in a sense, prevent the birth of potential future customers, it’s essential to understand the broader context. Condom companies, like other businesses, primarily aimContinue reading “Thought of the Day: Condoms”
Thought of the Day: Skinny
People who are larger have more skin. Making them skinnier. No, that statement is not accurate! The amount of skin a person has is not directly related to their body size or weight.
