Something New Every Day

Stories and essays on identity, creative thought, and everyday common sense.

Can you imagine what the world would look like if every thought was acted upon? I can. It has two potential results. It would lead to complete chaos, or people would learn to have complete control over their thoughts. More than likely, we’d experience both outcomes. The chaos would lead to control. Luckily for humanity, people have some control between thought and actions. You see, thoughts by themselves are not dangerous. It’s only when you apply strong emotions to those thoughts that they have the potential to be dangerous. If those thoughts and emotions are projected outwards, they are a danger to everyone who interacts with the owner. If they are bottled up, they are a danger to the person holding on to them.

It is the mark of a peaceful mind who can entertain every thought without becoming emotionally attached to it.
