Fake Memories

There is a concept of Living in the Now.

But some of us are quite entangled in the past. We try transcending it, try breaking from it, but yet we are stuck. Because we are stuck, we have no control of our future.

But what if your past was all fake ? Then logically it would follow that the future has hope because the past no longer has influence.

And there's a possible way to feel like living in the NOW. Living in the moment without feeling the past determining a bright new future.

Let's imagine we were created just today and these memories in our mind are just implanted by science. Do it for a day, and see what happens!

The Drive By Smile

The Drive By Smile is Like a drive by shooting, but more pleasant. I tested that in these terrible driving conditions, and found people will smile in return. They can't help it. Smiling is a reflex reaction. It's simple really.

If you have time, try this wherever you are at the moment. Think of something pleasant or funny. Something that brings a smile to your face. Got your picture? Are you smiling? Good. Now swivel your head around towards the other people in the room/train/library - wherever. Coming into someone smiling works easier for most people than seeing someone, getting their attention and then smiling. I think I will try other variations. I'm experimenting with the 'Drive By Suspicious Glare' and the 'Drive By Look of Confusion'.
