To Think or Not To Think...

I am said to think too much. Perhaps it's true - to a certain extent.

I can't remember when I started this obsession with thoughts - probably when I was much younger - when thinking was seen as a healthy exercise, and was "falsely" seen as proper. Yeap, I have come to realise now, as I step into the 39th year of my existence, that my fondness for thinking, and the hundreds of thousands of thoughts the activity had generated over the years...are no longer allies, but are my follies.

Poor Rodin. Wonder if he knew this when he created THE THINKER. A nude man in deep thoughts battling with a powerful inner struggle must have been fashionable then, perhaps even philosophical. Powerful inner struggle = paranoia? I wonder. Well, go figure life!

Having thought things over, I hereby take a solemn oath to stop all thoughts and to stop thinking altogether. From now on I shall act rashly with absolutely no regard for consideration, and shall live as impulsively as life will ever take me. Afterthoughts too are banned entirely. Having said all that, I shall remain in all calmness as empty headed as I can ever be :)
