The first paragraph is something I've considered on more than one occasion. I think much more along the lines of is anyone other than ourselves "real" and even ourselves for that matter? Like does our mind make up what we need to know, the interactions we have with others and everything else, in order to make them easier to accept and/or understand? That the knowledge we gain on a day to day basis is simply programmed in and learned a little at a time, but we're not programmed to be able to comprehend it. That everything and everyone we come in contact with is merely a manifestation of some strand of programming in our brains. It's easy for us to accept that someone taught us something, impossible to accept that we knew it the whole time, and our teacher was made up. Make sense?
The human brain, realistically is a computer. Or rather, perhaps the computer is simply becoming a synthetic brain. The similarities are strong and plentiful, and I'm sure that the development of computing and microcomputing borrow much from that. They've literally mapped the connections between different parts of our brains, "organic wiring" if you will, and have simply mimicked it, and with great success. It's craziness, but I'm sure that once all the secrets of our brain is unlocked, it can be likened to a circuit board.
As far as my sister's friend goes, it's more along the issue of she still has a boyfriend, and while they're on bad terms at the moment, it's a boundary that I'm working to respect. Then on my end, I have loose ends with Agent X that I need to tie up. And she asks me that all the time, well I know you don't care that I have a boyfriend, but what about her? If it mattered or I cared I wouldn't be here, now would I? We've already talked and said that if they break up and we decide to give it a whirl, we would tell my sister. And my sister is pretty much an amazing person, and has come to terms with many things that used to bother her before, so I have no doubt she'd eventually be alright with it. Only time will tell.
"Don't date your friend's ex" fucking period. I'm a very sensible and logical person, and I've had a couple of my friends date a couple of ex's of mine. If you want to come to me and tell me about it, and be honest, that's fine with me - I'm happy you guys are happy. But never, EVER would I date a friend's ex. Take your ex for instance. If by some odd stroke of fate we met, and hit it off I wouldn't even give it a half a second of consideration. I've had an ex say well "you can't control who you develop feelings for." My argument to that is while that's true, you CAN control WHO you spend enough time with to actually develop those feelings. If you weren't hanging out with your friend's ex all the time, you wouldn't have fallen for her. Now he's mad at you? Good, learn your lesson. But alas, that's just me.

See you point(s), and was written (mine) when I was like 1/2 awake, lol. Basically just saying we ALL need to wake up sometimes and realize that we are intrinsically selfish and our time here is too short. There's not enough time to be greedy, and honestly if it was my ex, or anyone's ex for that matter, I would wish you'd simply clue me in. Seriously though, even if it WAS my ex, I would be happy if you were, no lie man. But alas, that's me...
