I read a book once. In it I learned something I sometimes have to keep reminding myself: the world is what you make it out to be. With just the power of thought we can create an idea and from that idea we can bring it forth to life.

I also learned something else about the power of the mind; how every single person being can be viewed as a walking, human antenna sending thousands of thoughts all around. I believe in the special power of the mind and the things we can accomplish. One thought produced and transmitted over the air may have the power to reach someone else who will then think and transmit it in an endless chain till that thought becomes physical, real.

It’s easy to think and wish for things to come, but it is apparent our body-antennas aren’t the strongest even with all our might put into it. We do, after all, control very little portions of our brain willingly, the rest is automatic. How can we expect to work at full capacity?

But, what if we could pool our thoughts all at once, though? Imagine it: millions of people thinking one single thought in a very Doctor Who-eske level that could create something never before seen? What can’t we do if every single mind works together in a single processed thought? But, the bigger question is, how can we organize such a massive stage especially with 7 billion people all around our enormous world minding their own lives? Sure, we have technology and can great tools of communication but can someone honestly expect to communicate with every single person on Earth and for one full day think only one thought?

The thing is, what if that day comes? What if the day is now? It might sound preposterous to believe that a day now known as Nerd New Years celebrated on November 11th, 2011 (11/11/11) can have any certain power to actually grant someone a wish, but what if it could? A day where people willingly let their wishes flow and have their thoughts transmitted all around, creating 7 billion walking, human antennas thinking one single thought.

What would you wish for? I think I would wish for one thing only: for everyone to understand each other—their problems, emotions, mistakes, beliefs, and goals. To live good, happy and full of joy for how many days left to come because, in honesty, we could be here now creating the biggest wishing machine with just a thought today but tomorrow we could be gone due to some horrendous natural disaster. It’s the truth.

We were given today (by the Universe, God, Jehova, aliens, whatever your believe in) and today we have to make the most out of it. So, why don’t we?
