which is the HARDEST to LEARN in the SCHOOL of THOUGHTS?

Question

:-)

Answer 1

TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS SO YOU DO NOT BECOME COMPULSIVE hahahahahaha

Answer 2

In my opinion, contingency is the most difficult discipline.
Consider the mind as a cognitive structure. Here is an
analogy, the cognitive structure as a city with buildings
and skyscrapers of varying heights. The city is constantly
evolving; expanding, repairing, and re-building. The
similarity between the city in reality ends and the cognitive
compensation continues. The cognitive structure is systems
within systems of cause and effect for coming to
conclusions with conclusions being either justification
of the current structure's assembly or areas which could use
improvement. When an individual perceives a situation they
are taking a mode of transportation to a building in their city.
Ideally, the building they arrive at should be the appropriate
destination for recognition of what is perceived. Contingency
is the mode of transportation. Inappropriate contingency
will almost certainly give rise to less than comprehensive
conclusions except in cases of luck/chance. What follows
is the single greatest compromise to contingency.
The individual attempts to bypass the mode of
transportation all together, and creates the whole
city within a single building. However, the detail
overlooked is that the building itself is now a
city, and a cramped city at that. One which can handle
a decreased frequency of traffic; limited to elevators
and stairways. In the computing field this is called a
sequential search and is notoriously slow in retrieving
results. Back to an efficient contingency-based city, the
modes of transportation allow for walking in between
the buildings at high elevations; the interconnectivity
of the cognition. This is often referred to as systems
thinking, and without it the cognition is purely rigid
recall contingency; give the same exact situation and
produce the same exact response(rote memorization).
With systems thinking, contingency is made efficient by
transference. Essentially applying recognition and
contingency from many situations to formulate an
appropriate approximation of the current situation;
situations are rarely perceivably the same, but unfortunately
that doesn't stop some individuals from forcing the
recognition into a narrow exactness. Therefore, contingency
is potentially the most-important and least-attained mastery
of thought. With contingency the thought can sustain
dynamics and appropriateness custom-tailored to the
unique set of circumstances which determines recognition.

Systems thinking requires accurate contingency as a
precursor, so systems thinking is at a higher level than
contingency. However, I wouldn't state that it is harder
because in my opinion systems thinking is essentially
the refinement and connectivity of contingency. Therefore,
climb over the wall separating cognition from contingency
then rinse and repeat.

Answer 3

For many people, it's hardest to learn that money does not really make you happy or successful, it can not fix emotionally rooted issues, and does not make you a better person. Sometimes people never learn or just never give this any *real* thought.

Does this even count as a "school of thought"? Ahhh, well :-).

Answer 4

First a person would need to know what the intention was behind the question. Hard is a relative term. Would vary from person to person. If the intent was to discover more about the people who would answer the question, well then it would simply be a matter of perception. From the couple of answers I saw already posted, the perceptions of the question were greatly varied.

Whatever the question was intended to be, the answers would only be perceptions of what others thought it to be, and even if we all percepted the same question (is percepted even a word?lol) our answers would still be different, because they would be based on our experiences, our environment, and our perceptions of reality.

Ta da. I'm sorry, I was bored & saw your question and it was just to tempting to let go. ;-D

Answer 5

What is hardest to learn in the School of Thoughts, you asked? I would say to preserve-er, in whatever you want to accomplish in Life.

Answer 6

Happiness.

Because happiness just can not be taught. It is something that is kind of there and you just have to pick it up and use it.
Realize it.
Happiness is something that you, yourself have the desicion to choose yes or no to.
Yes...everyone does want happiness...but now everyone doesn't have it.
Or should I say that they do not realize it.
We keep looking up...when we should be looking around us.
We keep asking God to give us everything...AKA...happiness...when we should be just realizing it int he littlest things possible.
A funny joke.
Success in a painting.
Accomplishing a small task.
And the biggest happiness is in the happiness of another.

Answer 7

How to truly comprehend that which the other is trying to convey to you by the use of words....its amazing how, even if you already feel a lot of empathy towards a person or situation....if you were to experience yourself....you will just have a whole new appreciation of understanding for it....the seemingly never-ending levels of depth to everything never ceases to amaze me...

Answer 8

Thoughts are many but without good Reasoning Skills to back them up they are useless.

Answer 9

The most difficult of all is to subdue one's own ego, to escape one's own perspective, to quiet one's own thoughts and to listen - not to the endless chatter of monkeys, because while that may be comforting it can also be misleading. Listen to the rocks and trees, the splash of moving water or just the silent hum of the universe itself.

Answer 10

The human mind

Answer 11

The skill of true observation. Observation of external phenomena, observation of sensory input, observation of yourself, thoughts, actions, and the most subtle, observation of the still and silent mind.
