Lately thoughts revolving around the same topic have been creeping up on me. yes. creeping. up. on. me.
I’m sure there are many people (maybe even most people) who think that i don’t think. Or get the impression that i’m not a thinker. Don’t worry this post isn’t trying to make people realize they are wrong. its true. I don’t think much. Its me.
But lately thoughts have been creeping into my head. Like i’m thinking without knowing it. Like i’m doing my thing and next thing i know… i’m thinking about something! Not just random stuff. but like deep stuff… like philosophical stuff…
Does that seem strange? Is that what “normal” people experience. Is that how people normally think? It just happens? That most people think all the time that when something good comes up they aren’t surprised by it?
Normal person: hmm that person is wearing a very nice top. hmm there are no absolute truths. The truth of a theory is merely its power to produce predictions that are confirmed by observations. and i think i shall eat a salad for lunch….
omg what a bad example that was. BECAUSE i had to google an example of something thinking!!!! been sitting here for 5 mins wondering whats a good example of something doing some deep thinking. and i didn’t know what people think about so i had to google it!
end of rant. just because this rant has lend me to realise what a fool i am

lol don’t confuse fool with cute!
well, I’d say define “normal” people first
most of the time, I think people are out there just reacting and thinking about the next thing on their plate. Thinking about all those philosophical things is probably more rare than anything. And I don’t think anyone goes nice top -> nature of truth -> salad for lunch
that’s special! but yeah, I get distracted by those kind of things too, usually when I’m doing something mundane so my hands are occupied and my mind is free (e.g. gardening).
