It is loneliness that leads to thoughts, thoughts to curiosity, and curiosity to discovery and realisation.

In China, they say it is far better to travel a thousand miles than read 10,000 books. I believe them.
You could say it's an accident that I was ideally suited for the work I am doing. It's the feeling of a bowstring being pulled back for 24 years and suddenly being let go. I've always been attracted to ideas that were about revolt against authority. I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos - especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom - external revolt is a way to bring about internal freedom. Rather than starting inside, I start outside - reach the mental through the physical. I am a Libran - if astrology has anything to do with it... - JM
Love is right. It starts in my body and then moves to the sky. Every so-called mistake is sacred. Every false lead is a blessing that brings me closer to the real. I keep watching my illusions go up in flames, truth soon cools me in its indubitable way. I don't ask anybody how I should live my life. I just live it my way. I am not saying that I will not make mistakes, I will. But I will try not to make the same mistake again and again. That's enough. I'll try and find a new mistake every day, and make it. That is the only way to learn, that is the only way for me to come to my own inner light.

I have realised that thoughts are what make a person happy or unhappy. If you think you're unhappy and dissatisfied with life, you will be. Happiness is a state of mind. If you keep yourself busy and occupied and not "think" about how empty your life is, you'll never notice it.
And somethimes thinking does more harm than good :(
young buddhu - you toh shoulnd't think only... really.
Cowlick: Maybe.
J: It's what I do for a living.
Mind-blowing. I really liked this post. I particularly liked the way you unsubtly presented yourself as a thinker who comes across as a genius.
