Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts...


Thoughts Thoughts Thoughts…

Sometimes, my sleep breaks in the middle of the night and my mind is flooded with a certain kind of thoughts. No matter how much I try to deflect those thoughts or distract myself, it doesn't happen.

Do I choose the thoughts that come to my mind?

No, I don’t.

I have no idea why they do. I have heard myself telling people often that “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” Yes, this is the thought by Aristotle right in the description of the blog. I tell my friends that the purpose of my life is ‘happy faces.’ I do things because they make me happy and avoid things if they cause me pain.

However, I am not always successful. Happiness, Charity, anything else that you want to spread out to the world does not begin at home, it begins with us.

I do not choose my thoughts. I do not choose who I like. I just happen to think certain thoughts as they pop into my mind from somewhere and they don’t yield till they have achieved their objective. There must be an objective after all; the world cannot be a random place existing totally in an illogical nonsensical manner. 

Actually, I am not sure if it isn't. Not yet, I am still trying to figure this.

Does this happen to you? Do you sometimes get up in the middle of the night and start thinking something and you do not quite consciously realize why are you thinking so?

Perhaps you have never paid attention to the thoughts that appear in your mind and how and why they do. You will most likely not get an answer to the question but still, the question must be asked.

Have a nice weekend!
