Philosophical book; I think i will later call it: "Everything about Nothing"
so umm here is chapter one. I am sorry I was really anxious to have people read it, so I only decided to proof read like the first 3 pages. I know Im a horrible slacker, but guess what! Chapter 2 is like about half way done, I think! Actually its pretty much done, so if you like it, I need you to do two things: 1). Comment(this you might want to do even if you do not like it :D) and 2). Wait for chapter 2 and comment then.
Piece 2...not yet edited btw, so never mind the silly grammaical mistakes
“It is now important to bring up the fact that we do not only travel to those rooms when we sleep. Our bodies are not mechanical and they do not run by a certain schedule. It is quite frequent that our mind is able to sneak out of our room and into another one, while we are still awake. We notice it too: every time that we are very excited and the time seems to move much more quickly than we are aware of. Every time that we think that hours pass within minutes, or minutes within hours, it is all the doing of our consciousness and our unawareness of its actions. We do not notice how it betrays the agreement that the body and the mind have; the agreement that states where the consciousness will stay and at what times: in the chosen room during day, in other rooms during the night. The body and the mind must function together to achieve what we all are attempting to achieve. When the body and the mind come together we refer to that as perfection. If there will be a person who will be able to ask his mind to go to a certain room, then imagine what he could do. There would be no barrier of speed for him. Patience will not be characteristic that the person will have to exhibit. Everything that is considered impossible will be only a laugh to such a man. Walking on air would only require that the mind to travel to room where time passes faster. That way, the body will be located in a slower room and will be able to keep up with the pace of molecules that are in the air. He will be able to jump off of them before they will bounce off because he will be faster than them. Why this man could even be God. He could create the Earth in six days, he could do it in a second if he pleases. Everyone will be under his control, everyone that does not believe. Everyone that does not believe in the reunion of mind and body.
“Now this may sound like a ridiculous thing to you, but I know how to travel from one room to the other. I have done it a multiple amount of times and each time I understood something new about time. In fact soon we might even be able to have everyone travel those rooms and then time will be.....”
Peter put down the book he was reading and rubbed his eyes and nose. This was not the first time that he stayed up until morning reading. For some reason he was attracted to reading all through the night, it became like a drug to him. Every night he resisted sleep and went on reading some book or documentaries. Sometimes he would read scientific journals and the newspaper for the past week. He didn't just read one newspaper either; he never trusted the data that the people posted so he confirmed it with at least three other sources before assuming it true. It was interesting to him to understand every single point and aspect of every bit of news. This was actually quite troublesome because all the books he read he didn't really believe unless they matched the data he learned before. Frankly the book he was reading now didn't not fall into that category. Somehow, that book seemed to be just right for Peter. He agreed with every single part of it so far, except he did not understand how the narrator learned to travel those rooms. Well that was the exact reason why he stopped reading that book. He wanted to give himself some time to ponder out the details of what the author was saying. Peter was very much used to thinking during his sleep and for some reason all his brilliant ideas came to him during the night. His last brilliant idea was on his usual subject of computer programming. He made another theory in programming. He never patented it or even formally presented it. He did not believe in ideas being paid for. Well after all what he was a genius. If he was paid for his ideas he would be a millionaire already.
Actually he was a millionaire since last year, after he paid the last of his required payments for his house. His house was quite luxurious, everything he ever wanted, but Peter was thinking of moving out. He was the only person occupying 3000 square feet of living space, and he rarely moved about his house. In fact, he had never even visited three of the seven rooms. Peter was not extremely successful about his personal life, in fact he was a little paranoid. He never trusted his friends because of his childhood.
Peter did not become a genius, he was born as one. Being a genius he never had a very hard time in class and when they introduced the program that was supposed to be challenging he excelled in it. Except that there was only one problem. He could never understand how to write. He could write any math equation out, prove it, and explain it to an idiot so that he would understand it too. He never had trouble explaining his thoughts in math or maybe a programming language, but when it got to English he was just barely better than an average student, which of course was unacceptable at the level that he was studying at. When he applied to college he was five years younger than all the other applicants and he chose the best college that didn't have anything to do with English. The technical college that he went to accepter him, paid for his education and his room. That college did everything that he wanted, except make him friends. He was never able to socialize with anyone, partially because he was considered to be a little kid. Also, he was considered an outcast because of his genius. Peter was very lonely in this college and all he ever did was study. After a certain time has passed, Peter was in his fourth year in college, he found a friend. Her name was Jessica. As the only person that he has ever talked to, she seemed to be perfect. Jessica herself was not that popular because she too was extremely smart, not a genius like Peter, but close enough. All they ever did was talk about academics. She was a smart person and could keep up with Peter. She was applying for the same major and taking all the same classes, so they always had something to talk about because the homework that the teachers assigned took up mostly the whole day and when it didn't, they always loved to discuss philosophy. Time, the universe, the world, and everyday lives. They discussed people and what those people were doing. Or they discussed what something truly is. Was anything truly alive? Did the animals think like humans? All in all they had a wonderful time together.
After only a semester in college with Jessica, Peter began to understand something that he has never experienced before and could only identify it as love. Well, what else could have happened, after all Jessica was the only girl and friend he ever had. He tried to see if Jessica had any of the same feelings towards him that he did towards her. He wasn't that extremely experienced in these matters so it always seemed to him that she loved him back, but at other times it was obvious that she didn't. This drove Peter mad until one day he finely puckered up the courage and asked Jessica out. Jessica who was as experienced in this as Peter was did not answer him right away. She told him that she doesn't like to make rash decisions and with that their day together was finished. In fact their whole week was finished. Peter never saw Jessica again in all that time, his heart broken. Jessica made up her mind after that week, came up to Peter and confirmed the day they will go and where they will meet. That day Peter was so excited that he could not sit in his chair and listen to the lectures. The day of his first date finally came and he was very much excited. He was so excited that he forgot his wallet and Jessica was required to pay for the movie that they went to see. Afterwards, Peter was extremely embarrassed because of that, but he was even more depressed than he was embarrassed because Jessica left him on their first date. It wasn't a date from Jessica's perspective, it was a chance to tell Peter that she did not like him.
After this, Peter never trusted any one. Not that there were many people that he could have trusted. After all he only had one or two friends in all of his life. Peter changed drastically after that date too. He completely destroyed his optimistic ideals and became a pessimist. He never looked forward to anything and seeing Peter happy was something that only a lucky few could have experienced. He grew up this way and didn't change much, other than that he became very unpredictable and changed his jobs every now and then. He never changed the type of the job, he always stuck with programming, but he always wanted a different boss. Everything just seemed too easy for him. Speaking of jobs, Peter was going to an interview for another one tomorrow. Well actually today since it was already morning and not night anymore.
