I was certainly less than 4 years old, certainly. I remeber glance up on on our television in our living room at home, as my parents sit beside me on the right side. I stand right infront of the television, while I see this extremely abnormal scenario act out, and I have one throught from inside my head left today, as I thought "This is not normal" - And after this thought I try to evaluate on what are going on on the TV, but I can't grasp the context and work my mind around what is going on. It all ends right there. I believe, that dogs when they see things around them, they actually have a slight idea on something abnormal, but can't grasp any context on what's truly going on, and just lean their head to the sides, and most times loses intrest. I know this could not make sense to a few here, but it was my first memory in life. AS I have heard unpleasant memories can evoke our funcional systems to remember them. I am sure this is quite common, to have memories from inside our heads, as "what I was thinking" during seeing events from our earlier life.
The greatest philosophy of all time is... The one philosopher, who wasn't brought up and taught on how to think. Become the one to think and believe for himself.

I have vivid memories of when JFK was shot when I was four. Not the actual event, which I didn't learn about until years later, but the reactions of the people around me. I saw people walking down the street suddenly burst into tears for no apparent reason and everyone around me was acting strange. Others I know remember the Challanger shuttle explosion and I have asked a few kids if they remember 9-11 especially, but so far no luck. I wasn't scared when people started acting strange, but it sure got my attention. The younger the child, the more open they are to what is going on around them. On a commune I lived on whenever someone would misplace something around the kids we would always ask little boy in particular where it was because he always knew. He didn't have to be paying particular attention to what everyone was doing in order to know. He just sucked it all in equally as if every little experience was valuable. Wish I could do the same.
