Question: Do you think that every possible human behavior is occuring at least ONCE at every moment!?
I remember when I was about 7 or so, and I asked my mom out of the blue!.!.!.!."is somebody in the world eating a doughnut!.!.!.right now!?"
Okay, that was innocence and youth talking, but the point of the inquiry always stuck with me!. Is everything we can imagine a human doing happening at least once right NOW!?" Think of it!.!.!.6 billion people on this planet!. I bet anything you could imagine is happening at least once at this very moment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I believe that the potential, or possibility of human behaviour, is infinite!. Meaning, there is no end to the number of different things that people could do, in one way or another!.

The simple proof would be that if someone is counting, your variable could be what number they have counted up to !.!.!. and THAT is infinite!.

So (if you accept that hypothesis) then NO !.!.!. it is not possible!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know what you mean, because I've thought of this too!. The answer I have for myself is 'No', because, for example, one possible thing is 'breaking dishes in my kitchen', and definitely there is no one doing that right now!.

This sounds like a smart-alec answer, but it isn't, because in the set of 'every possible human behavior' there are a large number of behaviors that are very specific!. So specific, in fact, that we can check whether or not they are being done!.

For another example, we can pick "seeing Earth from space", and we could research which astronauts are currently in space, and what time they sleep vs!. work, and then that's a behavior that people can have, that isn't being done!.

But some general basic behaviors--things like sleeping, or driving a car, or drinking a cup of coffee, or eating a donut--are probably so common that there are people somewhere doing them at any time!.

See the movie Amélie for another instance of something people are probably almost always doing, somewhere!.!.!.

i hav though of this many times myself!. i do believe that many ppl are doing the same thing at the same time!. if you snap ur finger right now, many of thousands, millions, or even billions snapped at that exact time!. but the amount of ppl we hav on this planet make these events greater in amount!. another thing i do believe is that there is NOT one thing, event, or wat ever done alone by one single person!. someone is doing something in that moment!.

now if you were to talk about a moment of seconds, minutes, hours, or more, then i hav to say yes it is not possible for everyone to be doing something at that same timeWww@QuestionHome@Com

most certainly: think about it!.!.!. 6 BILLION people scattered on this earth, in 24 different time zones!.!.!. so while some people are experiencing the sleep behavior, the others are awake and going about their day or ending their day!.!.!. some people have to go shopping at the same moment as others are eating their donutsWww@QuestionHome@Com

There is a hierarchy to the spiritual world that only allows a certain amount of people on our level into the upper planes, so although there are gross actions probably going on repeatedly, some actions on our level aren't entirely gross and very limited in being expressed!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Funny you should ask this cause i always think about it!

I'll be walking through the mall and i'd be thinking!.!.
'I bet someone is really happy now!. And someone else is really down and depressed'

I think you're right!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
