“The unexamined
mind is a waste.”
Critically thinking
is the paste.
Understanding of
cognition,
To avoid
limitations.
Think simply, what
is universal?
What do we all share
non-controversial?
“Words used to
convey thoughts,
When thoughts are
grasped, words lost.”
Languages are a
manifestation,
Of cultures and
perceptions.
As life goes on, we
create biases.
Polluting our
opinions of silences.
Unaware in how much
we all have in common,
Truly, we are all
from the same garden.
Pursue in finding
the connections,
To discover personal
disconnections.
Thinking about
thinking can be maddening.
Often it can
correlate saddening.
Deep thinking can
put you at the bottom of a well,
Frequently it can
make you feel like hell.
But, to do otherwise
proves damaging.
To not self-reflect
is most unravishing.
FOREWARNING:
Thinking about thinking can be maddening,
Often it can correlate saddening.
Awareness does not mean happiness,
Enlightenment can bring sadness.
But, to do otherwise is damaging,
to not reflect on life is unmanaging.
"The unexamined mind is a waste"
Start critical thinking, make haste!
ZEN KOAN:
Flag waving to
the breeze,
The flag does not
move,
The wind does not
move,
The mind is what
moves
