YOU WANT TO THINK MORE AND DO MORE

-there’s the thinking vs doing dichotomy -first one only does — breaths, walks, eats, lives…
-then one hopefully learns to think; Not everyone does, mind you
-then, some of us become infatuated, with this THINKING-GAME
-thinking can then become an end in and of itself
-one then hopefully returns to doing
-this doing must still be tempered with THINKING, obviously

Obviously to get specific results — you engage in specific actions. The more specific the better.

The opposite of specific is random — random actions — and those random actions render random results.

Therefore you discriminate. You analyse the feedback you get from your actions, using intelligence. You consider and contemplate and think through.

Some don’t even do (think) so much, mind you,

Thinking is taxing.

Some of us are not very good at thinking

Some of us figure it’s more economical to get one’s answers from the others

It may even be true for the kind of results they are after: surviving, lingering,

It will probably not be satisfying to you, or anyone interesting in actually living

But then you have the “thinkers”

Though to call them “thinkers” is flattering.

I’d like to believe that “thinking” is an innately positive process — alas it is NOT

Thinking it a tool.

You can utilise it to solve real world problems

Or you can utilise it for it’s own sake — think to think, talk to talk — without any actual purpose — which is a perversion

Thinking for the sake of thinking is a perversion

And it results in perversions: it results in perverted notions, perverted ideas, perverted theories, perverted pretentious Weltanschauung, perverted stupid nonsense

Most of us sit partly in the real world, partly in the world of ideas and thoughts, and partly in-between

Most of us only sit in a boring, tiny fragment of the (real) world and explore only a tiny fragment of the world of ideas.

You want to expand the world you know: expand the real world, by penetrating it with your perception, by unravelling it’s secrets with your intellect — then unleashing that wisdom in action — and then repeating that process

This is the way of elevation

You don’t want to remain stagnant in either reality — in either the “real” world, or the “world of ideas”

You don’t want to only grow in one dimension — go through life “doing a lot but for no reason”, nor the opposite — do NOTHING in life, other then indulging yourself in thoughts and ideas and dreams

Therefore the question is not whether to “think more” or “do more”

If you only “DO” — you’re just a stupid monkey

You can be in a “great” position of “great” power doing “great” and “important” things — yet you’re just a monkey, and you don’t even know what you’re doing there. You DIDN’T make that choice for yourself — therefore you’re just a monkey. This is no life.

Conversely — if you only think — that is obliviously just a sick perversion, a movement of delusion. If you CAN’T TEST IT — it doesn’t exist. Therefore every thought you indulge in without testing it with reality is just a fantasy, a movement of delusion, a mental illness.

The question is not whether to “think more” or “do more”,

The answer is always THINK MORE AND DO MORE

The answer is to think (as much as you like — for as long as you utilise that, and test it, in the REAL world

And the answer is always DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN — as long as you’re AWARE of what you’re doing, as long as you’re doing it with care, with love, with attention, and CONSCIOUSLY

And ultimately — you wanna THINK MORE AND DO MORE, in general

You want to DO EVERYTHING and THINK EVERYTHING

Not just a few things or “important things” or “clever” things — you want to DO it all, LEARN it all

Not ambitiously, mind you

Just out of genuine curiosity and love of LIFE

(Though the mentality of doing-more and learning-more and solving-more and innovating–more and doing-more again can obliviously never ever be overestimated as means of achieving success in any field, any subject, any matter)
