When you are thinking about things only in terms of what you are thinking about then you are not thinking about things. What do I mean? The subject at hand is the subject at hand. It is too close. You need a framework to detach. (I like that last sentence.)

Thinking is that frame. But especially in my beautiful country thinking is considered almost a disease. Ooh, you’re thinking, sorry to hear that. It should go away.

It does seem somehow against nature, and it is. Thinking is feedback from the ability to speak. It is artificial. But wait a minute (okay, 1 elephant, 2 elephant, ) how can it be artificial if it is coming from me, coming from inside me.

It’s not.

It’s coming from outside you and then expressed from inside. At least it is, if it’s thinking. If you drop somethinc on your foot, and go, ouch, that’s not thinking.

Ouch.

To know the difference is what I’m saying you need to know the difference of. It might seem horrifying to have a prison inside you; even more horrifying than to be inside a prison, which is sorta what I’m saying thinking is. But by prison, I only mean a discipline. Yes, it is inside, this, this discipline that comes externally. You learn to do it. You learn to do it well. Or you can.

If you do, does it amount to anything. Are you just generally conversing then. In other words just subsuming your ouch to a universal one. I know very little, but I do know this. There is no Universal Ouch. The universe does not stub its toe, only we do.

What thinking can do is allow you to actually think about somethinc (wow, Mike deep). The thing you can think about is what you’re thinking about. You cannot express yourself by expressing yourself. You’re only expressing yourself. To express yourself you need to place yourself in, not from.

When you are thinking about things only in terms of what you are thinking about then you are not thinking about things. You need a framework to detach. (I still like that last sentence.)

Thinking well is the best revenge.

I think.
