WHAT IF YOU COULD READ PEOPLES MINDS:

WHAT IF YOU COULD READ PEOPLES MINDS:

In this story, I am trying to answer the question of: WHAT IF you could read minds. Put yourself in the position of the main character, whom I named Chris. Because, it is both a male and female name.

Here's some of things that would probably happen if you could read people's minds:

You go shopping at Walmart. The first person you see is an old man. He is thinking, "You are really ugly!"

You don't let that bother you. You just continue shopping.

As you continue walking around, you see somebody that you find very attractive. You start to wonder what they think about you. As you read their mind, you are disappointed, because, they think you are funny looking!

You don't let that bother you too much. You just go on to the next aisle and mind your business.

Chris soon runs into another man that he knows, but, you don't know what they think of you.

Reading their mind, you find out what he really thinks of you. You are horrified to find out what he is thinking, "You are a dork and an asshole! I hate you! I want to shoot you so badly!"

Horrified, Chris runs away to another part of the store.

You spot a nice looking person in the next aisle. So you focus your eyes on their forehead and squint, activating your ability to read minds. This is a total stranger that you've never seen before.

They were thinking, "I don't know you. But, you're ugly and you look like an idiot! Your clothes look dorky. I hate you!

As you continue walking through the store, you see somebody that you find attractive. Focusing all your attention on them, you think, "I hope s/he finds me attractive to."

As you read their mind, you are in luck, they are thinking the same thing about you! They are thinking, "S/he is very attractive. I want to get to know you! I want to date you!"

Wasting no time, Chris quickly approaches that person and gives them a kiss. Then asks them out on a date.

Chris continued walking until you see another person. This guy is thinking some very nasty thoughts! You want to say, "Hay, you are sexually harassing me!"

Then you think, "He never verbally said anything that he was thinking, so I can't do anything about it. I can't sue or anything."

Chris moves on to the beer aisle. You want to pick up a case of Corona. You proceed down the aisle and you see Five people. All but One of them are wearing facemasks. You then realize that you forgot your mask at home and you are really taking a chance that you might get the virus with the same name as the beer you intend to buy!

Reading the mind of the One guy in the beer aisle who is not wearing a mask, You find out that he does have the Coronavirus and he is trying to spread the virus to everyone he can!

You abandon your shopping cart and run as fast as you can. As you're running away from this guy, you yell as loud as you can so everyone can hear you, "This guy has the Coronavirus! Stay away from him! Ahhhhhh!!!"

Ten minutes later, you go back to retrieve your cart.

Continuing to walk through the store, Chris sees another guy, reading this guys mind, you notice that he is thinking of a really funny joke.

You laugh and tell him, "That is a really hilarious joke!"

The guy gives you a funny look and asks you how you knew he was even thinking about a joke?

You just say, "I don't know, just a lucky guess." Then you walk away.

A person of your same gender walks by you, they smile and give you googly eyes.

They are thinking nasty, homosexual thoughts about you!

Chris gets really offended. You say, "You sick ******* ******! I am not gay!"

Then you punch the idiot in the head!

Continuing through the store, you notice the next person is not thinking about you at all. They are looking for a specific item in the store.

Chris says, "That is in aisle 12, on the Right side, top shelf."

That person, asks you how you knew what they were looking for. Did you read my mind?

You laugh and walk away, saying nothing.

Walking around the toy aisle, you see a little kid crying. Reading the kid's mind was not good. She is thinking, "OMG, the Doctor just told me, I have terminal cancer and I only have One month left to live!

Chris gives her a hug and says, "I am sorry to hear about your medical condition."

The Tenth person Chris sees is thinking, "I hate my job! They treat me bad and they don't pay me enough!"

Chris hands them a piece of paper with a friend's name and number on it.

You say, "Call my friend. He will hire you. Put me down as a reference. Have a nice day."

Chris goes and pays for their groceries and walks out into the parking lot.

While walking to your car, you a guy you know. He is an executive at Microsoft.

He was thinking, "Tomorrow, Microsoft stock is going to go up to $1,500 per share! I can't tell anyone till tomorrow. Today, it is only $100/share.

Immediately after leaving Walmart, Chris goes out and buys 10,000 shares of Microsoft. You sell them the next day, for $1,500 each!

Another guy you see in the parking lot is thinking, "I am going to set a world record for being the first human to ever jump out of a plane from 35,000 ft with no parachute!"

Chris is horrified and quickly talks the guy out of it.

A woman walks by Chris and she is thinking about some problems she has that are similar to some problems that you have.

Chris gives her a hug and says, "It will be OK. Let me help you. I have the same problems."

Two guys in Red jackets with the word, "Bloods on them are thinking, "We are going to attack the Crips and start a big gang war!"

Chris calls the police and reports the gangsters. Then you go tell the Crips what the Bloods were thinking.

You prevented the incident, before it ever happened.

The next guy is wearing a business suit. He was thinking, "I just got a new safe, the combination is: 1-2-3. I have

$10 Million in the safe."

You are extremely tempted, but, decide not to steal the money.

Chris went home and planned a trip to Las Vegas.

The next week, when you get to Vegas, Chris plays Poker. Reading people's mind here is fun. You know all the cards everyone else has because, you read their minds. You manage to win every game. At the end of the day, you leave the casino with over $100 Million.

People start to get suspicious of Chris. They suspect you might be a witch, Maybe you're Clairvoyant, you are a time traveler from the future, psychic or an alien from another galaxy.

Chris gets famous really fast. You are shown on international news. People write books and make 5 movies about you.

Doctors and Psychologists examine you. But, they can't figure out how you can read minds.

When the FBI finds out about you, you're arrested and then questioned about some crimes they suspect you may have committed. But, at the end of the day, you are released with no charges.

The FBI hires you to help them solve crime.

Next week, Chris signs up for some college classes.

Chris gets a 4.0 in every class, because, you could read the Professor's mind. You already knew all the answers to every test, before the class even started!

A few weeks later, Chris' magic power wears off and you become a normal person and live happily ever after. the end.

The Moon.

MOON FACTS:

Orbit is: 27.32 days

Diameter: 2,159.2 Miles (3,475 Kilometers)

Perigee (its closest approach) the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). Apogee  (the farthest away it gets) the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696 km) from Earth. The average distance from Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km).

Lunar Phase Period; 29.5 days.

Orbital speed around Earth: 2,288 Miles Per Hour (3,683 Kilometers Per Hour).

It has about 16.6% of Earth's gravitational force.

Escape Velocity: 1.47 Miles/second (2.38 K).

The word "Month" comes from MOON.

Luna is the Latin word for Moon.

The second largest crater in our Solar System is at the bottom of our Moon.

Every month, the Moon disappears for a few days. This is called the "New Moon". It happens because the Moon is hidden from the Sun by the Earth.

The Moon does not generate its own light. It reflects the Sun light off of its surface. When the Earth blocks only a small part of the Moon, this causes Lunar Phases, like, Crescent, Half Moon, etc.

(Not only the Moon doesn't produce its own light, but, none of the planet's, moons and other satellites produce light, everything reflects Sunlight. That's what we is Sunlight being reflected off planets, their rings and moons.)

We can't see the American flags on the Moon, because they are too small and too far away to be seen through a telescope.

Because of the sunlight, radiation and the fact that there's no atmosphere on the Moon, the US flags on the Moon have all turned White over the years.

Because there is no atmosphere on the Moon, it's almost a total vacuum. In a vacuum, there is no air, wind or molecules in the air.

Sound does not travel in a vacuum. So, THEORETICALLY, you could stand two inches away from someone and scream as loud as you can directly in their ear and they wouldn't be able to hear you. Again, I say that one is only THEORETICAL! It can't be proven Scientifically and until it is Scientifically proven, it's just a theory.

The Moon is moving away from Earth at approximately 3 Centimetres per year.

Since there's no wind on the Moon, Neil Armstrong's footprints will be there for a really long time. Millions of years.

The strongest influence on our ocean tides is the Moon. Other forces include the Sun's gravity and other forces under the water.

A full Moon does NOT make people go crazy! That is a myth and a superstition. Hollywood only makes it worse by making movies that say the full Moon makes people crazy.

When you see a ring around the Moon, this is usually caused by the Moonlight reflecting off water and ice in the clouds.

The Moon is "Tidally Locked" to the Earth. That means, the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. That's why we can never see the Lunar side of the Moon.

Moon temperature range: Negative  -280 F at night to 260 F during the day.

Only 12 humans have ever walked on the Moon. They were all Americans.

At the Moon's Apogee, you could fit all the planets, including Pluto, in the space between the Earth and the Moon. There would be only a little bit of space left over.

The Earth and Moon were created at around the same time. Since, they are both made out of similar materials, Scientists theorize that a large object may of hit Earth in its molten stage and knocked some material out into space, that material came together and formed the Moon. (That is not proven as fact, it's just the most accepted, Scientific theory.)

Occasionally, Moon rocks fall out into space. Some of them land on the Earth. Most of them are really small and they burn up in the atmosphere. But, if you know how to identify Moon rocks, you might find one in your backyard someday. The easiest and best place to find them is Antarctica. Most rocks from Earth's surface are buried under the snow. A rock on top of the snow probably came from space. (However, civilian's, people who are not Scientists and a few Special, military personnel, are not allowed on the continent of Antarctica. Except for some small areas around the outer perimeter.

You can actually buy an acre of land on the Moon. It would be One acre of the "Sea of Tranquility". I don't know why anyone would want to do it, because you can't actually go there and see the land that you bought.
