Thinking has become a disease? From the article written
by Eckhart Toli entitled “The Power of Now” it clarified how thinking is
actually makes people lives in a state of apparent separateness, in an insanely
complex world of continuous problems and conflict, a world that, reflects the
increasing fragmentation of the mind. Other than that, from his viewpoint,
human beings actually not using their mind in a wrong way, instead, he assumed
that we do not use our mind at all, but it uses us. Is this sounds right to
you? Sorry to say that it does not sounds good to my ears.
For me thinking for a human being is such an essential thing in our
life. As we know, each of us has many different levels
of thinking. Some of the things that we do in our lives, such as breathing,
walking, yawning, sneezing and blinking become almost instinctive and we really
do not have to think much about them. However, some things require more
thought, such as deciding what to eat, what to wear for classes or what to cook
for dinner. There are also higher levels of thinking and these include our
critical thinking abilities, like what I am doing right now which is deciding
either the Toli’s sayings about thinking as a disease is acceptable or not. I
have critically thought about his articles before I decided to post an entry
about my opinions and comments on his writing. Here it shows that I am not
being “possessed” by my own mind but I made the decision by my own clear
thinking.
Toli admitted that our mind is like a survival machine, but it is not at all creative.Do you agree with this statement peoples?Surely
the answer should be no as it is a fact that our right-brain operates as a
creative side for every persons living in this earth. Without thinking deeply
and thinking nonstop I don’t think that I can complete this third article of
mine by today. In contrast with Toli, he thought that over thinking can make
someone less or not creative at all. Whatever it is, still I am standing on my
point that the more I think, the more creative I can be in any field of
matters.
As a rule, thinking is a good thing and while some people
don’t do it enough, some over-think everything like making the simple to
complex, the easy to hard, the minor issue to a major drama and the pain-less,
to a pain-full. Yes, I do agree that over thinking can bring many bad effects
to someone, but remember that not all of us misused the mind given to us by
making their self “over” in thinking. The only issue here is the minority of
the “over thinker” that still exist in this world should make themselves awake
from being jailed in their own mind so they will not affect the people around
them.
In short, I can say that this article by Toli is as interesting
as it different in some way and really made me felt eager to argue more and
more about this “thinker” issue. Remember that we are the one who decides what
is right and what is wrong, always believe in your heart and think smart using
your mind to get the best results in your life. Everyone living in this earth
will surely die at last in any conditions, alike our mind or brain, it will not
last forever too, so used it wisely as it still functioning well to get the
best from it.
“The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”
