How much of your life is spent thinking?

Question

I mean, you must spend a lot of time thinking, but how much? Do you spend 50 years if you're 55 years old, or do you spend all of your life?(You probably will have to think some more for this question) :)

Answer 1

i think we spend every single day of our life thinking about anything and everything. we think when we dont wanna think and we think when we dont even know we're thinking.

Answer 2

Because I consider thinking to be purposeful mental activity as opposed to mindless garbage bouncing around in your head, it obviously varies with the person. Some rarely think at all, as evidenced by many questions and answers on this site. For others, thought is the fountain from which all things come, and they use it intensely.

Answer 3

You're thinking too much... everything you do requires thought or a thought process. Even when you're sleep your sub concious is working. When you stop thinking you are usually dead. Took me a few seconds to figure this one out. Not too much to think about, just logical rationale.

Answer 4

Just about every moment of my waking life which is about 16 hours a day. You can do the math.

Answer 5

We think all the time. Descartes said "I think, therefore I am." Therefore, if you don't think at all, you "are not," which wuold mean you were dead. A complete lack of thought means a complete lack of brain activity, which would make a person dead if they are brain dead.

Answer 6

You have to think in order to survive everyday of your life, it's just human nature.

Answer 7

YOU SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE THINKING -
IN SOME CASES THIS IS REALLY A BAD IDEA

Answer 8

Answer 9

even when we sleep, the brain is active so I would say 100%

Answer 10

I try to avoid thinking whenever possible.
