THINKING FOLLY

ECKHART TOLLE

Thinking folly, folly according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, lack of judgement, the fact of doing something stupid, or an activity or idea that lack of jugdement. The synonym is stupid. According to Eckhart Tolle, the original writer to his article, “The Power of Now” he prefers to think by using this method. Why? Because he do not want to burden his system of thought. Maybe, he refers this to his previous life. He once had a mental breakdown due to his seriousness in thinking, even the tiny problem can be a heavy, serious and been dragged to days, maybe weeks, months even years !

As for my opinion, thinking is good. We can’t regard that thinking can bring disease. Thinking can create creativity, imagination, new findings, wise jugdements, and also avoid us from being left behind. To develop and find solutions, one have to think first in order to seek for a better result. Hence, to be a good, better and the best, one have to think. If we think a lot, surely, it will create keenness in certain purpose of thinking. Show the interest of thinking, thus, people will respect you. Through thinking, we can plan. Planning for the future,is predicting the unexpected outcome that will arise. So, maybe, as a sign of preparation, we can prepare what need to be prepared, and done what need to be done. So, as for me, thinking is good, but not too much. As too much can kill.
