People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head; it is actually done by the heart which first dictates the conclusion, then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
The mind has its own logic but does not often let others in on it.
But you don't decide what to do with the info. Thought runs you. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought. Whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us.
There is a dearth of thinking skills - people are taught what to think, not how.
This is another major feature of thought: Thought doesn't know it is doing something and then it struggles against it is doing. It doesn't want to know that it is doing it.
A lot of people don't give much thought to what they believe, and it's easy for them to hold what often are two conflicting ideas in their head at the same time.
Thinking is the place where intelligent actions begin. We pause long enough to look more carefully at a situation, to see more of its character, to think about why it's happening, to notice how it's affecting us and others.
Any thought that is passed on to the subconscious often enough and convincingly enough is finally accepted.
People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument.
