If we could place our thought/want/desire as a whole into another person's mind with all the intention and emotion with it and not have to explain or apologize that would be awesome.

Wow, dose of reality here, if they can read your mind, you can probably read there's too, pretty scary. I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what others are thinking most of the time, as it is probably not very kind, and vice versa. NO thanks, just keeping the relationship healthy, happy, and full of chaos.

As it is now, I sometimes have to remind myself that it is not always prudent to say what's on your mind. That doesn't mean that I don't do a whole lot of mental imagery while I'm standing there with a polite expression on my face : ) Lord help us all if anyone can ever read my thoughts!

And goes without saying I don't want anyone reading my mind either. I agree with Joanne, too much knowledge IS a dangerous thing. And goes without saying I don’t want anyone reading my mind either.

I was traveling and some of my comments (and my post) were done on my laptop and some on my phone. I've read back through here and can't believe how many typos I missed. Mea culpea! <b>Sue A.,</b> I had some of the same thoughts as you, <i>If we could all read each others thoughts we’d get judged on them first...</i> that's why I threw in my comment about wondering that if someone reads your thoughts would your intentions or motives go along with it because that might be all that would stand between me and a violent altercation with someone I was thinking about. <b>Cindy,</b> I love your thought process! I adore my darling GG like you do your Bob. While GG knows me pretty well by now, there are some things I <i>know</i> he's better off not hearing about. That whole story about being sick is priceless. I'm still laughing over the, "Do we have Tylenol?" <b>Jane,</b> what you said is so true! I've been in a room of strangers, made eye contact with someone and was pretty sure I knew what they were thinking. After I gulped or sucked air in shock, I was praying they couldn't tell what I was thinking. <b>Maureen,</b> my problem is that my internal editor sometimes goes on a coffee break and leaves my unruly thoughts to their own devices. Talk about messy, you can imagine what happens if I actually speak... :) <b>Alyn Y.,</b> I can get on board to a degree being the only one who can be doing the thought reading. But boy oh boy, I might become unhinged if I "heard" something unflattering about myself or someone I was close to. I'd probably get my mind mojo taken away by the mind-reader guild or something.

Sue A., I had some of the same thoughts as you, If we could all read each others thoughts we’d get judged on them first… that’s why I threw in my comment about wondering that if someone reads your thoughts would your intentions or motives go along with it because that might be all that would stand between me and a violent altercation with someone I was thinking about.
