To Think Deeply Is To Be Unhappy

1 month ago

We think deep thoughts because we want to be honest. But honesty has a cost. To see things as they are is to see the bones under the skin. And bones are cold. Most of our thinking is just a machine running without fuel. It solves nothing. It only produces suffering. We replay the same painful thoughts for weeks, and not one of them changes a single fact. We are not the thinker. We are the listener of the thinker. Thinking happens to us, like rain on a roof. The witness does not have to obey. So stop listening. Put down the wrench. Drink the tea. Be quiet. A cup is useful because it is empty. A mind, when empty of deep thinking, is finally peaceful. You are the Self-Aware Reality on which the entire drama of world exists. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #ToThinkDeeply #PhilosophyOfLife #D
