To Think Or Not To Think

Tweet

I consider myself the average guy, a little neurotic, a little crazy, a healthy human being who loves his kids and his work. Nonetheless, if I would give credence to all the useless clutter that is going on in my head all the time, I’d probably go nuts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hearing voices, am not in communication with the here-after, none of it. But I’d like to observe myself, and I’d say 80% of what I think when I don’t think consciously, meaning I’m not mulling over a problem or making plans, is total nonsense. It flies in the face of what I’ve been taught and what I’m teaching about human beings as reasonable people. Again, don’t call an ambulance with a straightjacket yet, but this weird caleidoscope of memories, projections, inventions and sheer daydreaming is why we have a brain? I dunno. So I laugh a lot about myself, and always remember that I’m in good company LOL
