[Video] - Middle of the night...

[ninjainviolet]

[ Sorry, everyone for this early wake up call, but Sheena's just had another nightmare, and is reacting without thinking.

And hitting the "video" button without realizing, revealing her shaken and disheveled state. ]

Okay. Just what the hell is going on with these dreams?!

[ Sheena has to chuckle. ]

No, it really isn't that straightforward--especially when you have people from different races and cultures in one place. They all have different ideas about what happens after, but in a way, it's kind of the same, since there are both good and bad results.

[ Ghosts may fall into the latter category.

She chuckles. ]

If it helps, sometimes living beings are confused by our own beliefs.

If you have so many of them, then it's no wonder. [Having a small society like the one Padparadscha came from has its advantages, like not having to worry about contradictory beliefs. Or not usually, at least. Recent times have been a little different.]

I think I'll come to my own decision about it with time, but we've been here for barely the blink of an eye as it is.

[ Sheena waves a hand to indicate Aifaran. ] I was actually talking about here. There are a lot of different cultures, but there are also a lot of similarities.

Maybe by focusing on those will help. [ She chuckles. ] "Blink of an eye"? I think some people may disagree with you on that, but I know what you mean.

[corundrum]

That's what I meant, yes. ["You" as in "you living things", not "you personally", though Padparadscha can see where the mistake would have come from.]

I'm well aware of that, but the lifespan of a living thing is rather fleeting in my experience, so it's natural that our opinions on the passage of time would be different.

[ Sheena shakes her head. ]

I should have realized. I'm sorry, but I had actually thought you meant universally--different planets. [ Though she's not sure why. ]

Hmmm... Maybe not. Our opinions on the passage of time are pretty relative, aren't they? For example, to someone who is 2000 years old, someone in their 80's would be like a child--just as someone in their teens would be a child to the one who's 80.
