Hi Steemians!
A thought is at first an idea conceived in the creative process of our mind. These thoughts are gusts of wind in the beginning, but each grow to be unique burdens that we have to bear in life, for a thought cannot be killed; not once it has made a home in your brain.
Not every thought is necessarily decent or pleasant. Sometimes we come up with ideas that even repel our own selves. Some thoughts are useful and constructive, while others can be devastatingly harmful and fallacious.
There only remains one question: How can you tell the difference between a useful thought backed up by reason and a harmful one backed up by unreliable emotions?
To understand the nature of a thought is a difficult and challenging process. Some ideas are so inherently hardwired into our mind and thought process that we cannot easily trace their origins back to where they formed. For instance, imagine a person who believes that life is cruel.
That person truly believes that with absolute surety, regardless of what you might have to say to dissuade him from that belief. Because for that person, nothing rings truer than the idea that life is cruel.
Why? Because that person has lived most of his life growing that conception; that life is cruel.
The seed has had plenty of time to find its deep roots at the core of the existence of said person. Now you may begin to understand why ideas and thoughts can be so dangerous and destructive.
Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if your thought is right or wrong, or if it is backed up by imperial evidence and reason. What matters is how much you have spent growing it in your mind. That thought becomes your reality, regardless of its validity and legitimacy.
Some people fall into the trap of misconception. For instance, a person might think that a life well lived is one in which you spend every hour of every day doing what you love. But if realism has anything to say in the matter, sometimes you have to do things that you do not necessarily enjoy in order to arrive at the place that you want to be.
We have already discussed the greatest parasite on the face of this society; the idea that we are all victims of fate or chance. That life is not fair, and that the people in our life are in any way to blame for the things that happen to us. This is also another misconception of the mind.
These delusions first start as an innocent idea that you may entertain for a while, but if given enough time and attention, they can all turn to parasites that haunt you forever. You may reach a point when no possible argument of any sane merit can help you find your way to the light again.
That is why you need to be mindful of the thoughts that shape in your mind. Do not ignore or neglect them. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that they are not important or that they will go away.
If a thought is bothering you or giving you sleepless nights, face it head on and try to find your way out of the darkness using reason and solid evidence. If you feel like a thought is having a negative impact on your mood and your conscious-self, deal with it and eradicate that thought and its impact as fast as possible.
Thinking is the first step towards enlightenment, but poisonous thoughts are seeds of doubt and fear that will in time ruin your life and destroy your dreams.
Starting today, be wary of everything that comes to your mind!
A BIG HUG!
