A Mind Full Of Voices.

I was surprised the first time it happened, at first, I thought it was just my own thoughts. It was still very early in the morning and I was still booting. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and freshen up for the day when a thick voice passed through my head, "OMoh, I'm tired o, this country is definitely not for me." I thought it through and it hit me, that was my neighbor's voice. My neighbor's thought.

Immediately I paused, where's that coming from. What changed. Am I alright. Whatsup with me. Various thoughts began to come to my mind, I almost ran crazy, my thoughts were there, coupled with other various ones coming in-between. It would have been better if I had nowhere to go, but I have a life-changing contract to sign that very morning.

Well, it's obvious something is definitely wrong with me, I just rushed through dressing and all, then rushed out. Maybe I shouldn't have. As I stepped out of my gate into the street, it felt as if my head was a mix of radios being put on at the same time and set to different stations. Everywhere was just buzzing, I hear this and that, a mother worried about how to pay her ward school fees, a father thinking of how to run away through the back door so the wife wouldn't notice and all.

If this world ever becomes one where we communicate telepathically, this is definitely how it will feel. Very strange, frightening, loud, crazy and all. One will be at the middle of every discussion. Well, the only reason it would be better is if the communicator will also have the ability to pick who to actually communicate too.

Back to my story, truthfully speaking part of me loved it, even though it was strange at first. But as the day went by, I felt some way, the fact that I can really come to understand people without asking a single question. There's no lies anywhere, I can hear it directly from where it is coming from, in the mind. I could feel peoples feelings. And in that very moment, that gift felt like the best gift to have.

By the time it was night, I was already getting used to it and was happy, but as I got to my compound that evening, something happened. I heard one of my neighbors thoughts again, and this time it was about me. It wasn't an evil thought, it was a very honest one, just that it feels kind of different. You know, the kind of honest, sticking word one is not supposed to actually say out, or would have rephrased before saying it out. And that's another thing about being able to communicate telepathically.

Now, being able to communicate telepathically can help bring people more closer to one another, but then it can also break. It would be so good and bad at the same time if that was to become our reality. We would be able to communicate to one another in all honesty and express our emotions the way it really is, but then, what about the hitting truths, the thoughts that could break, cut and cause fights.

It would definitely be an interesting world to be a part of, but such a world can only work for people who are really ready to handle the weight of knowing everything as it is.
