"THINKING...it is such a waste of time...." Do you THINK so?

Question

Recently I heard this dialogue in an ad for bike.I was shocked. Does consumerism has so much power that it could make us oblivious of thought process & intelectual perception!!!!!
I need your comment on that.

Answer 1

No, I don't think so. I do think that commercialism can lead to more emphasis on just that instead in place of certain values. We can't totally attach ourselves to commercial things because those items are only temporary. A good spirit, faith, hope, love, all matters beyond commercial things. A "bike" is an inadament object. It has no life.

The ability to think is a wonderful thing to have. I'm not ready to surrender to a computer or a system that would take away my right to think for myself. Would you?

Answer 2

Really so.Thoughts are nothing but the mind:mind it = means to keep something as an object to think of it later. You can think about something which u really know not- about the truth of it. When you really know something thought stops; there is no need of it. If it so happens,only then we really know that. That is to say that all knowledge are of the mind or the mind itself, to be illused is the nayure of the mind. Everything changes but change. So, that which goes on changing is not real or truth.In that way thinking is really a waste of time, you either do or don't do and that is the secret. Things are HAPPENING in the world and are not out of your thinking. Of course if one understand this the advertisement which u quoted is a philosophical one and it is true too.

Answer 3

1. Thinking is a natural phenomenon which mind takes care on its own accord but supporting the thinking at artificial level overburdens the mind and reduces its efficiency .
2. Regarding "ad" you have seen , they are not concerend with mechanism of thought process , they are interested in selling their products which you should purchase without thinking and wasting the time.

Answer 4

I THINK THINKING is a waste of time. Our thoughts have to be harnessed or they go haywire. Best to reserve THINKING for things that matter like solving problems etc

Answer 5

u jst dont go wth the add,k.its there duty 2 do anythg 2 get there items selled.nd its our duty or right 2 purchase it.so dont worry.

Answer 6

yes.just thinking is waste if it is not put into action.
reg. the ad. they want tp play on people's mind.
who ever falls prey to them they exploit.
the one who thinks will not react to that advt.

Answer 7

When you get a money for thinking then don't think stupid things..

In this system citizens of India above 12 years of age will receive a cell phone (identification instrument
capable of data processing with the aid of network services and the master computer. It will be integrated

will be assigned with an identification number *** cell phone number with finger print details. Problems with
the cell phone instrument will be immediately attended otherwise it will be replaced with another good
working one with the same data drawn from the data bank of the master computer. Tourists from other countries
will be given temporary instrument and their activities will be noted continuously. Children under 12 years
of age have to be taken care by parents or guardians. Peoples are doing mistakes because they believe that
nobody notices.
The history card consists of the following details and will be operated automatically from master computer
