Inappropriate Thoughts


I can pretty much guarantee the majority of readers will be having said thoughts right now all because I typed them as the title of this post, I can also bet if you weren't at first it is very likely you are now.
It works on the same basis as reverse psychology, if one is told not to do something or think of a particular thing you do it anyway, down to either thinking of it by accident, a overwhelming need to defy any kind of authority on you whatsoever, or are generally quite easy manipulated. This is more of a placement psychology (Derren Brown eat your heart out) it's pretty crazy though that our thoughts can be changed or be manipulated by the smallest of actions.

And when saying about inappropriate thoughts at first I didn't mean in a sexual context, to which the phrase "Inappropriate Thoughts" has taken an association with, but I mean in the context that the thought could be seen as completely innocent (however the idea of any thought ever conceived to be innocent is a debatable matter in itself) however just not the best when it comes to the issues of timing, more so when being told something quite sad for the person sharing, but not finding it amusing or humorous but pleasing in the sense it makes you happy and fills you with a happy feeling thinking the world is doing something nice for you, that one could potentially use the situation to one's advantage, does this make a terrible person?

Not in a sadistic point of view but more as an opportunist, as I mentioned before it comes down to that issue of having hope, for me hope has been re kindled, rather than actualities.
