The Thinker

This is really going to sound oxymoronic as you read on further, but lately i've just been wondering why we think so much about things? And I don't mean to downplay our abilities to think, it's one of the greatest gifts we've got, to analyse, contemplate and to plan our lives out. If I had to take a guess though, we don't really do that as often as we say we do. The kind of thoughts i'm talking about here, the ones that run through our minds most of the times, are the kind that blindside you at the strangest of places when it is least required. In a middle of a presentation, in the middle of the night when you should really be trying to sleep, while watching television, on a lazy sunday afternoon..it could be basically anytime, any place.....when out pops this totally irrelevant, almost nonsensical thought that has no business being there in the first place, and it probably won't be worth anything to you in a significant kind of time. It'll just wither away with time. And then, your whole train of thoughts gets sidetracked.

And i'm thinking right now that most of you who read this should identify with what i'm saying. But don't fret or mull over this article, do spare a thought but not for too long, cause the mind can work in funny ways..and then when you least expect it, you could be thinking about what i wrote back there. Then you'll know what I was talking about....
