Fantasy.

So as you all know, the movie Twilight came out last night/this morning at midnight. Of course I went to go see it, along with Jessie. After watching this movie, me and Jessie were talking about how cool it would be if things like that were real.  But it is just fantasy world.  What made this fantasy world?  Why is it that we wish for such fantasy things that aren't really real?..or are they?

What if those things are real? What if we are the fantasy world to them? Better yet, what if there are such things as vampires, fairies, werwolves, etc?  Going back to wondering if all of this is just a dream anyway, who know what's real and not real?  Can we know what is real or fantasy, or is it just what has been put into our heads leading us to know or think we know what is real and fantasy?

Things like vampires, are supposedly not real.  But we all know what their qualities are.  We know what a unicorn looks like.  We know what werewolves do when there is a full moon.  We all know the stories.  But how do we know, maybe, somewhere, these so called fantasies exist.  Maybe they exist and maybe we are the fantasy world that lives inside of their minds..

That's a good point. How do we know what actually is real and what isn't? People don't believe in werewolves and vampires because they think that people just made them up and their totally ficticious. But what about all the people that believe in God. How do we know that wasn't just made up by people? Sounds like we should just be as skeptical about that as we are in vampires and unicorns and the like. The thing is looking into yourself and figuring out on your own what you think is real whether it be God, vampires, "complete political corruption", unicorns or whatever. It's all about how we fiugure things in our own minds and forget what other people have to say about whatever they think is real or isn't.

Sometimes after seeing movies like Twilight (BTW: have to tell me if it's any good) I think it would be cool if those things existed. But then again, I don't think I'd like it if I knew there were these monster looking people out there waiting to drink my blood. I mean, there are enough monsters that are regular people without adding a few more to the mix.
