All the colors around us.

Last friday i made up a brilliant theory. So, it was super late at night and i was at a friends house with a couple people. We had just finished partying and we were just relaxing in his backyard around a fire. I was pretty much staring into the fire blankly when the subject of the fire's colors came up. We basically started talking about all the reds and oranges and yellows and blues. Why we thought they were these colors and gases and just a whole bunch of shit. It was a pretty intense conversation. I heard someone say that the bottom of the fire looked pretty yellow or something like that. Well, it looked pretty blue to me. So, i said that it was blue, not yellow. No, it's blue/No, it's yellow/blue, yellow, blue, yellow. I WIN.

But then i started thinking about some trippy shit. It went alot differently in my head, like it was a way more OMG feeling at the time, but it's still pretty crazy. So, what if the colors everyone saw were different, but we just called them by the same names. Like the sky. Everyone calls it blue, right?! Well, what if someone standing next to you was seeing the sky as yellow, or maybe seeing a pink sky. But they called it blue also. Or maybe were all seeing different colored things, just anything, books,computers, purple, red, blue, green, yellow, pink. I started freaking out.

So my whole theory was that, were all standing here thinking were seeing the exact same thing everyone else is seeing, but were seeing whole different colors, whole new worlds that i can't even imagine. In a sense i guess, we would all just be color blind yeah, but how do we not know this?! It changes everything. They say everyone is so different, so why couldnt this exist?

So, i tried explaining it to everyone. Some people got it and were as freaked out as iwas, others were too far gone to understand. Anyways, i just thought it was a crazy subject. And here i was thinking all humans are alike. Sorry if it doesnt make much sense.
