#21 If you had the gift of telepathy, the ability to read other people’s minds, would you use this gift or not? Explain. (Middle East Technical University/93)

If I had the ability to read other people’s mind, I will use this gift. I have three reasons for this. Firstly, I believe that gift is a chance. Gift is something that you did not have previously and have it now. It is something that came from outside. Not from you. So taking a gift means taking a chance. For instance, if you got a gift of hundred rupees, you have a chance of using hundred rupees for whatever your purpose. I do not reject a gift unless it is a harmful one. Secondly, everyone wear a mask in this society. People hind their mind and thought. Without knowing their mind, we can never know them fully. The only way to know them fully is though reading their mind. Lastly, without knowing them, we cannot become a leader. How could we possibly lead and help people when you have no idea what they want and what they need? Every leader in history had the ability to read other people’s mind. Gandhi, a father of India, could see that commoners needed more rights such as equality before the law, respect from upper class, and fair treatment in their job. Gandhi solved this problem with the gift of telepathy. This applies to everyone. This gift of telepathy is an answer to my and your problem. Therefore, I will accept the gift if telepathy.
