h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

the trouble with the mind , is that it tends to be influenced by the minds of others ,way too easily in my opinion , taking our hypothetical situation , of course the natural reaction is to dismiss the mere suggestion of any thing not of this earth , and of course rational people don't believe in ghosts do they ? , i mean , experts tell us there are no such things , and experts know every thing ....... don't they ??

but wait up , er who taught the experts ? and who taught the teachers of the experts , and who , well you get the picture , i suppose the question i am asking is where is the proof that "ghosts " ( whatever they may be ) DON'T exist ??

yea yea the skeptics amongst you will throw up all the usual arguments such as you can't prove a negative etc etc , but how about considering , just considering that there MAY be more things out there than we realise ?? - a closed mind , is as they say , like a closed door .

now gloomy thoughts , yes we all have them from time to time , or even a lot of the time , depends on ones life experience i suppose , if things have always gone well for you , then you will tend to be more "upbeat" than those who have been dumped on by fate for most of their lives - and lets be fair , a lot of us get dumped on by life ,a lot of the time .

we are told ,again by experts and others , that we should "think positive " personally I don't think that this works , my proof of this is i always think positive about winning the lottery , never happens , but maybe that's an extreme example

I hope a lot too , but that don't seem to work either , so my considered opinion is that yes there IS something to worry about , and if you don't have anything to worry about at the moment , something will surly come along , seems to be an unchangeable rule of the universe

but I would not worry about it too much ..........................
