Dear Friend (whoever you are),
I do not think I’m going to be posting too often. This year is much more demanding than last. There are days when it seems like all I do is school, work, sleep.
Which brings me to what I want to say today, how much do you actually THINK? I’m not talking about at school, where you’re (usually, Dear Friend, should be) thinking about the subject you’re being taught. Not when you’re watching TV, then you’re focused on the show. Not when you’re at work, thinking about work. That’s not original thinking, and I’m talking about original thoughts. Original thoughts.
How many original thoughts, not put there by someone else, do you really have in one day?
Are there days when all you do is follow the pattern? When all you do is think thoughts someone else put in your head? When all you do is school, work, sleep?
Sometimes it seems the only original thoughts I really have are right before I go to bed. And that, Dear Friend, is a very scary though.
What happens when NO ONE actually THINKS? (Or at least when the majority do not think.) What will we do then, Dear Friend, when all everyone does is follow everyone else and think what they want others to think. What then. Dear Friend, what then?
Keep on thinking.
Until next time,
Anonymous Writer.

Original Thoughts... they are few and far between, but when they come about, they are wonderful and fun and usually make me laugh. Although sometimes they are terrifying and scary and make me want to cry and be held.
ReplyDeleteToday's favorite original thought was when I was walking outside, thinking about the day and what I was doing...
"what is a jumping jahosephat? and why is it jumping?"
"who decided that the driver should be on the left side when curbs are on the right side?"
"why does your butt say pink?"
there were more. they come and go...usually with a chuckle to myself over where they came from.
cheers!
