"I Think Therefore I Am"—what a laugh! It's an assumption with more holes than the logic of paying extra for jeans that look like a bear has shredded them. Believing our whole being is just about thinking is like betting your life savings on a three-legged horse because you like its name. It's like saying, "I snore; therefore, I must be a symphony conductor."

Beliefs like this have a powerful hold on generation after generation. We have all become heavy thinkers because we think we'll die if we stop thinking. Our minds assemble 24-hour news channels, spewing out a mix of breaking news, old reruns, and commercials for stuff we don't need. This endless flood of mental junk mail clogs our inner peace, turning quiet moments into an open-air market where everyone tries to outshout everyone else. Heavy thinking is the modern plague. If thoughts paid rent, we'd all be filthy rich.

I love thinking, it is fun and it helps me stay alive. But we have to bear in mind that thought is the ultimate shape-shifting trickster, with tools like logic, imagination and emotion at its disposal. One moment, a thought is a solid object; the next, it vanishes, leaving behind a puff of emotional smoke. It can pretend to be a hundred types of YOU. It can be the dagger in your back in one scene and the bandage for your wounds in the next. No wonder we're all walking around spellbound, tripping over our minds like clowns on their shoelaces in a slapstick routine.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go chase down a thought that is trying to escape—it owes me a lifetime of rent.

Philosophy is about sharpening our brains for critical thinking, solving problems without creating new ones, understanding ourselves and others, and making top-notch life choices. It turns us into relationship gurus, communication wizards, and personal growth experts while teaching us how to innovate, strategize, and creatively solve the puzzles of existence. It's the ultimate guide to a thoughtful, impactful life, minus the need for a philosopher's beard, social media approvals or even the Ego itself.

For millennia, we have struggled to control time. In vain, of course.
Time is like a magician; the more you stare
at his hands, the less you can see.
Just think about the past; where is that gone? Was I there?
The future is our imagination with binoculars pretending to be a prophet.
And present is this moment. Oops, no, it's gone. It's this one. Nope, gone too.
Blimey, it's like trying to catch a fart with a fly swatter.
So, time has as much substance as the plot of last night's dream.
No matter what anyone says,
time is just a clock ticking, tricking us
into thinking that the seconds and minutes are for real
when, in fact, things happen, and then they are gone.

Navigating life with beliefs as the top guides is like using a medieval map of Dragons and fairies in today's world. We expect harmony but get a toddler-conducted symphony instead. Our mind becomes an arena for a never-ending clash of contradicting desires and fears. 😅🥹🥲
Sure, the game has charm, but it can be more boring than planning a sailing trip in a puddle. It's living in the grooves, grids, and boxes as if our whole lives were planned out on a spreadsheet by someone who often thinks that money is the goal and that fun is a sin. 🤓
Spontaneity and natural intelligence are constantly within reach, but they end up buried under the tumult of our internal conflicts and resulting whirlwinds of emotional chaos. 🤩
