Thoughts about thoughts

A conundrum of the blazing sun - it could save the world or set it on fire! It’s a reflection of all the dichotomies that exist within each of us, within our thoughts. Every thought is a seed with the potential for good and bad, right and wrong, creation and destruction. But it’s not always black and white - it’s a little bit of both. And we often push that boundary, that thin line between light and dark. At times, we get dangerously close to crossing the threshold to the other side of what’s comfortable, what feels right, what agrees with our moral compass. If the earth gets too close to the sun, the same creative fire that sustains it, could lead to its annihilation. And yet, sometimes it is necessary to push that limit. Ultimately, it’s our choices and actions emanating from those thoughts that shape and mould us as we evolve with time. We redefine that threshold, that boundary. And quite often, the meaning of right and wrong itself transforms. But it all begins with our thoughts. As Descartes succinctly put it, “I think; therefore, I am.”
