There
have been several moments in my life when all I wanted really at that point was
to read the other person's mind. The situation made it so that I could not tell
at all what she was thinking. I wanted to know so badly what was going through
her mind when she said those words. But now, I think that I was better off not
knowing what she was thinking. Telepathy would be a useful tool in vital
situations, as in the case of Edward Cullen for all those Twilight fans. However,
reading other people's mind is like going through their stuff: it's offensive.
Reading other people's mind is invading their privacy. There must be something
that the person has in her mind that she doesn't want you to know and there
must be a reason for that. And if you read her mind out of curiosity, you are
not respecting her or her thoughts. There are some things that are buried deep
inside my mind which I try not to think about. I don't want people to know
these thoughts and these feelings because they are private. I would feel
betrayed and disappointed if somebody tried to read these thoughts. And I
imagine it will be the same for many people. There are some things that others
shouldn't know and it’s better left that way. People talk about how
they could do childish things with this gift if it existed, like cheating in
exams or winning a heated argument. However, they fail to realize that this
kind of dishonesty will not carve out their success in life.
I
refuse to believe that I am the kind of person who will manipulate power. But,
we don’t know what we are made of until the situation presents itself, until
our characters are tested. So, another reason I wouldn’t use the gift of
telepathy is because this gift may unleash the worst within me.
