What is thought?
Where does it come from?
Where does it go?
Thought seems to be what makes this world go round. It's what allows us to develop who we are and create the world we surround ourselves with. It allows us to remember where we parked when we leave the store. It allows us to contemplate what we think about that attractive co-worker. It allows us to develop opinions. It can be concentrated. It can be thrown about loosely. Some people do it too much, and some do it too little. It allows us to do so many things that I can't even think of them all right now.
But what is thought? Where does it come from? Where does it go? We can't hold thought. We can't throw it around like we can a baseball. We're told it's just a form of energy. But is there a way to control this energy, or is this what we're doing when we think? Is thought simply like air? We know it's there and we can feel it; we just don't know how to control it?
Is this inability to control thought the reason for all the problems in the world? Is it ultimately going to be the cause of our demise instead of our happiness. Does anyone have a thought about these questions I've asked?
What is this thing called thought?
Where does it come from?
Where does it go?
Just a thought about thought...
