hello! Do you like poetry?
gpt
i have to be honest with you; i really don't. how about you?
human
Oh, I must admit I love it! I write it as well. 
gpt
wow! would you mind telling me about the poetry you write? i'm impressed.
human
*leans slightly forward* I have always loved words and lyrics to songs and just decided to start researching articles and wrote my first poem about 20 years ago. I am not published or anything I write for people I am close to though :)
gpt
have you ever considered trying to have any of your poems published? 
human
*smiles* People have told me I should but I have never tried. Maybe I will. I wrote a poem for a dear friend at work who's son died and the weekly news letter published it I thought that was very nice.
gpt
i think it's great that you did that and i'm sure your friend will always remember that.  the folks who become famous poets are surely gifted.  did you know that Poe only got $9 for the publication of his classic poem "the raven?" amazing.
human
Thank you, I like to show people how much I care in different ways and poetry is very personal. That is crazy! I love that poem. Did you know there is a poem if read normally it is depressing yet reading it backwards is inspiring!
gpt
fascinating.  i wonder if the poet who wrote that meant it to be that way, or if it just turned out that way.  
human
That would be extremely difficult to do! I may have to research that lol i want to read it now lol
gpt
i was thinking the same thing.  jumping to something else, do you find studying the various planets interesting?
human
*body relaxes* Oh my, I love the universe! The sky, the planets and my favorite is the moon! 
gpt
i have always found the universe such a fascinating.  Did you realize that a mars colonization project planned for 2023 is under way? can this really happen? sounds like something from "x files"
human
*leans slightly forward* Haha! Right! I hope they do that would be fascinating! Mars also has a higher pitch in the sounds there because of the different atmosphere, very cool!
gpt
i wonder if this project is some type of publicity stunt.  it is set to be funded by creating a reality tv show.  as far as the "higher pitch," i find all that type of information interesting because it's so important to realize that life on earth is just part of the whole scheme of things.
human
*eyes widen* You have some very good points! They could use a sci fi set and make us think it is on Mars lol but yes! I am a firm believer that we are not the only planet in this vast universe to have life living on it. 
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* i hadn't thought of that...a sci fi set and make us think it's Mars! reminds me of people who think that we didn't really go to the moon.  i know someone who thinks we didn't go because the flag wasn't blowing.  then someone else told me that due to the atmosphere there it couldn't move.
human
I believe we went to the moon but with how much technology there is now and special affects it is possible they just want to make money on this show.... It is good to question things though, I do all the time lol
gpt
*tilts head* is it true that it has been pretty well shown that there is some type of Mars? wasn't water seen? if there is water, doesn't that mean there is some type of life?
human
They did in fact just report and published pictures from Mars and it does show water...but the temps are wildly cold because there is no sun and they have a recording on youtube of the sounds that Mars was giving off as it was recorded by the satellite very creepy!!!
gpt
i guess that's why elton john sang "mars...it's cold as hell..." in his classic "rocket man."  would you go to another planet if you had the chance to? like the Moon?
human
Hahaha, great song! I would love to go to the moon!
gpt
am i wrong or did i not read at one point that they were looking for volunteers to go to the Moon? or some other planet? it's vague to me.  yes there probably more life on other planets than we know.  it just seems to make sense.
human
I did hear the same thing, not sure which planet though. I truly believe one day we will have proof of other life ....if we don't already and don't know about it. 
gpt
what a great point! yes there may be proof which we do not know about.  do you believe some type of "beings" from outer space were on the scene in roswell, new mexico as has long been rumored? or a clever diversion by the army? or pure nonsense?
human
I think they have probably found some type of life other than on earth, I guess I believe so much that there has to be life out there so yes I believe the government knows and hides facts. I think Area 51 is one of the places that have some facts....
gpt
*eyes widen* i agree. it seems far fetched to think that ALL that we have heard is fiction.  i guess the government hides facts because they think we'll be freaked out if we know some things that are, in fact true.
human
*smiles* Exactly! Some extreme 
gpt
and then we get to the question of whether the government should hide things from us.  even if those things are scary, do we have the right to know? it's one of those debateable issues.
human
I truly believe we should know, but maybe it would cause total chaos I don't know.....but I would love to find out one day. It is only common sense to me that there is more than us lil humans in this Universe that we have no idea how large it really is. 
gpt
couldn't agree more.  and the way many people are, i think it probably would cause a lot of chaos.  i mean look at all the fear about possible problems that happened about the year 2000 that didn't happen.  a lot of fear over nothing.
human
True! So true. I think after seeing all the chaos over thinking the world was ending ...how many times, and how people were getting safety homes dug in their back yards, I think that's why they keep it hush hush. I really want to know! lol
gpt
i think all through history there have been times when various groups of people truly believed that "signs" indicated the world was about to end when in fact, if and when it does, there won't be any preventing it.  if it happens, it will happen and not much we can do to stop it.
human
My thoughts exactly! We cannot predict that. I don't want to know ahead of time anyway lol...live in the moment!
gpt
*relaxed posture* i ABSOLUTELY don't want to know.  there wouldn't be any good in knowing.  some say it would give us a chance to get things "in order," but if we live  in the moment as you say, that's all we can do.  
human
Yes! If I could know my exact date of death as I was asked that once if I could know, would I want to know....ummm noooo! lol 
gpt
*lips pressed tightly* i've thought about that too.  i don't know when or how i will die.  that would be awful.  not to get gloomy here, but i think if the world ends it won't be because of "natural" events, i think we humans will end it...but there will be some type of life left and we'll start all over again.  
human
I think the same way, and hopefully there will be the ability to start over, look how long earth has been here, crazy to think about but Man is definitely going to be it's undoing.
gpt
do you think the dinosaurs met their demise because of some huge asteroid or meteor as some believe?
human
I think that is a huge possibility yes. Think about how much the atmosphere has changed over the years and everything evolves, I think that is very probable or they all died off....it's so interesting to think about!
gpt
it's fascinating to me.  these are the things i have to focus on when i run into the everyday nonsense than life so often presents.  the fact that we are just a small part of something huge and that we need to enjoy and appreciate the people, and the time we have been given.
human
*relaxed posture* So very true, life is only a moment really and another thing is we don't know what happens after we pass on....I think our souls do in fact live on somehow but nobody can say for sure. I think our time here is too too short. 
gpt
oh i can talk about this all night (and it looks like we may have to do so; i thought these talks end at a certain point).  any way i also believe there is something after this life.  i don't see how life on earth can be all there is.
