Dear Guru,
Can I get back to you on that one,
...after some quiet contemplation?

Yes, and I am supposed to be on vacation...please make it stop. At least for now.
The scary thing about the "joke" is that I know a lot of people who really are like this in this joke and I have lost a job for "thinking too much" and I have lost friends for going to college and beginning to "think" so I am different from them. Being a thinker is lonely. I was told by my psychiatrist that true thinkers are only 1 in 100,000. (I go for anti-anxiety medication because I think too much.) That is a little scary that there are so few of us.
Darn it...we are still human...albeit being thinkers...do we not bleed when we are cut...oh, the inhumanity of it all.

Yes its not good at times I know for myself sometimes it is better to just shut down the brain and not think and meditate and find peace. Addictions in our society are rampant today people have so much and yet so unhappy it is better to appreciate and quiet your mind to the beautiful things around us. Sometimes when you over analyze you torture yourself and you just have to ACCEPT things as they are and take one day at a time and just Chill you can make yourself mad and sick from thinking to much...............its so not worth it :)))

Yeah, sometimes the line between humor and misery is as fine as a single word. Or, come to THINK of it, a couple of letters.

That is a little lame, especially since I am a member of AA and NA but think about this: Dumb animals, or so we call them because they cannot talk, like us, to tell us how they feel, but does not make their suffering any less because they don't have words that we can understand? To them we are the Dumb Animals.

Fruits of your labor are mine. Visa versa. Radially, let there be free thought (albeit with sensible guidelines). What pleasure to be derived from this thing called "thought"? How impoverished is this joy?

That's kind of like saying, "I'm addicted to oxygen." Is there an alternative to thinking, short of being brain dead?

Geez!
Will you leave no addiction untarnished?
People keep trying to take my Chapstick away from me, too!
(Still quietly snickering at "I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't stop myself.")
