Regarding thinking, I believe I have never and will never truly do so; at most, I just say things like 'Let me think' or 'Let me take a look' or 'Let me ponder over it.'
Until one day I noticed a phenomenon where strange thoughts occasionally popped up in my mind; sometimes it's a sentence, sometimes it's a reflection after an action, and sometimes it might just be a sigh or even a question after observing a phenomenon.
It seems that I no longer just see things as they are or hear them in one ear and let them out the other, but instead, I have gained some refinement, reflection, and summarization at a higher level of data.
Data - Information - Knowledge - Wisdom, it seems like I am unconsciously exploring this!
This kind of unconsciousness is sudden and random, it may happen while going to the bathroom, drinking water, or daydreaming, or perhaps in a meeting or reading a book. Anyway, if you pay attention, you will feel that at that moment, it seems like your soul has jumped out of reality, coming to the questions or thoughts of #Confucius and #Lu Xun regarding life, existence, and nature. Sometimes, the thoughts might even be a bit transcendent, seeing through everything.
For example, I have always believed that everyone is the protagonist of their own life. If it were a TV drama, the protagonist (me) would pay more attention to my current situation, wanting to know what my future self will be like and how I will be recorded and remembered by future generations. I am afraid I can never be recorded in history like great people, celebrities, writers, or artists. At this moment, I can better understand the youthful arrogance of having lofty ambitions, and I can also view my self-positioning and realization in reality more realistically. Abandon fantasies and live in the moment.
There was even a moment when I am the protagonist of my own story, and others are the protagonists of theirs. Living in my own world, I have always been the boss, but in a city, everyone is their own boss. However, who truly cares about the daily lives and future of the boss next door? Only oneself pays attention to oneself. Extending this to a longer time frame or a larger geographical context: I am just an ant in the insect world seen through others' eyes, just a speck of dust in the cosmic river, coming without weight and leaving without impact. Because I am just an ordinary person.
You see, does this count as thinking? Does it sound a bit insightful and negative? But it touches areas of the personal brain that have never been thought of or acted upon. I don't know what use it has, but it will certainly play a role in certain areas.
So, feel the self, experience the changes in the flow of thought, ask why, think about what it is, and perhaps in an unintentional moment, a habit, an unconscious way of thinking forms.
