trivial jottings

I hav recently come to understand people a lot better.Initially I used to take everyone at face value, never tried to think that what they might be saying is wrong...but now I have been forced to think otherwise. This is the first thing that one notices when one is staying with total strangers, I suppose- one's character. Its amazing what we can learn just by concentrating on what a person is trying to say instead of what she is actually speaking. The human mind is such a complex system. How do so many thoughts run at the same time?Maybe somebody can conduct a research on the number of thought processes one can have at a time. Maybe I will take it up!Who knows? Maybe everybody should have a Harry Potter-like relation-by-scar who feels uncomfortable and passes off when the other thinks an evil thought. Then when once everybody starts falling, people might abstain from negative thoughts. God knows, this might be possible for posterity.

Well..I want to link your title "trivia" to
"understanding people."
Upon saturation, you sure will give up tryin to understand other mortals.
And ths the best way to live!
Trying to figure out wht others think only cause unnecessary anxieties and expectations.
