@Riz P kinda hard to explain since its a kind of personal matter that everyone thinks of differently. but i think they're referring to the feelings and mindsets and, well, happiness i guess that comes with youth and fades away slowly as you age. the idea is that in heaven you get all of that feeling back, but thats just my interpretation. i encourage you to find your own that works for you and your experiences

@@Fjertil it actually funny but talking how men differentiate from women we want results we dont have time for unecessary mouvements will women can focus and calmly find ur lost things sometimes u lose something ur wife didnt see but she calculate and asume u put it above tv coz it is ur fav place to rest after a long day of work and u just exausted and tv close to door .... (just exmpl) thats why women complete men (if they understand and care for each others of course) woman can read u as a book if she care about u and live with u.thet have also the superpower to tell if u lie or not 😂

Then there's this curious phenomenon called hiding in plain sight where the object you're trying to find is right there in front of you but, for some reason, you don't see it and continue to look high and low.

[@DeadhunterThe]

I got lost last Christmas season in London. It was outside the front door of Harrods when all of a sudden my parents weren't behind me anymore. I held my ground for a bit, then went to look for them. I looked everywhere. The Pret Manger we ate lunch/dinner at, the grocery store we browsed around, back in Harrods, even the nearby McDonalds. Nothing. I was scared. Here I was in a place I had been to for the very first time, and it was nearing Christmas. I thought I'd be lost for a very long time, and I didn't have my parents' switched out cell phone number either. I was on the verge of tears. But then I remembered something I read in my first ever "Boys Life" magazine. When you're lost, you don't panic. You STOP. That is: Stop. Think. Observe. Plan. I had to get back to my family, and the best way I could do that is if I could get to neutral ground where they were sure to come to eventually. But where would that be? Then I remembered the Ibis Hotel we were staying at. If I could get back there, they'd surely come there in time to reunite. Problem was I didn't know how to get back. I had to find a way to get to the hotel. I didn't have my phone, but there were still those payphones nearby. With luck, calls to the police and emergency services were free like in America. I made my way to one that was working and called. The police officer listened to my story and asked where exactly I was and what I had seen. I told him we had been to Westminster Abbey so he directed me to the nearest Ibis Hotel. Unfortunately, that wasn't the right Ibis Hotel. But I went inside anyway and explained the situation to a receptionist. She called several other Ibis Hotels until she got the one my parents were registered under. She then told me to tell the workers of the Underground Subway System to direct me to the nearest train station to our hotel. It was dark, but I found my way to the subway, asked for directions to where I needed to go, made it to the right Ibis Hotel, but my parents weren't there. The receptionists assured me that after awhile they'd come back to the hotel and after an hour or so, I heard a knock on the door. Imagine my happiness to be reunited with my parents who at one point I thought I might never see again.

True Story: I once lost a $100 poker chip while at the casino. I had 4 pants pockets. Two regular pockets and two frontal pockets. I reached into my pockets probably 100 times. Over and over again. It wasn't there. A few months later I wore the same pants again and...you guessed it...the $100 chip was back in the pocket. My mind was blown. I am convinced Carlin is right. Sometimes things just do in fact disappear for a while and go into an alternate realm. And then come back : )
