Thoughts are such strange abstract phenomena. We have absolutely no control over our own thoughts.Most people don't. One minute you could be laughing at a meme or reading a blog and the next second you're like "oh shoot I had work to do." And two minutes after talking to a person they need to be somewhere or do something else and you find something else to do. And how easy it is to remember song lyrics that you have heard maybe once or twice, but you can never remember what was written in page 394 of the textbook.
When you tell yourself to not think about something and focus on the current situation, but that thought is so tempting that it drives you crazy just not thinking about it.
In my imagination, thoughts and ideas have a life of their own. They are, spirited beings waiting to be manifested into reality. They haunt the minds of potential executors of ideas and linger about otherwise.I mean , take away our minds , thoughts and ideas , what are we? we just are. There would be no spark, no thirst for invention , for discovery , no art. Humanity would have never made it past the stone age. Admittedly , the planet would be in much better condition.
The mentality, culture of citizens shapes entire nations. It differentiates Russia from Germany or Canada or Peru. It places value to books written decades ago, and to pieces of paper and metal. Ideas form religions, faiths, forms of lifestyles, subjects and empires.
We are what we think. Every person is composed of billions of their own thoughts and experiences. We are who others perceive us as and who we think we are. The world is made up of thoughts and ideas . Every lamp , every street , every turn, every gutter came from an idea. Every person is unique in their thoughts. No two minds think in the same way. Sure, we surround ourselves with like minded people but what makes you different from the person next to you and an admissions hall with the similar grades and achievements? Our thoughts make us different. How we approach a problem , how we remember things, our ability to think creatively , our experiences and first impressions make us who we are.
In the Greatest Showman , they mentioned a line " a man is limited only by his imagination.".
Being lost in thought isn't a wasteful activity. Daydreaming is a vacation you take into your own mind. It is imperative for us to sit back and paint our minds, arrange our thoughts, opinions and perspectives to be able to make better sense of the world.
human minds are awfully fascinating places. Explore your own the best you can and trust me, grand adventures await.
