Thoughts On | Thoughtlessness

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     Throughout the ages there have been many sages, or what we could call thinkers, who have possessed expertise in the thought field of human nature. Of course as society progresses with human evolution, ideas / thoughts are also progressed. But with this evolution, the core or foundational ideas of human nature most probably reman the same. Such as the need to survive, food, fight / flight mechanisms, or the characteristics of sympathy / empathy, feeling a sense of love or belonging. What most probably has changed is how these characteristics come to be practised. Such as socio-economic functions for survival, or our own levels of awareness. Which can be called human knowledge. Sought through institutions of formal schooling, or how one has traveled through life - such as life experiences. 
​
     With the accumulations one can either increase ones desire to give to the fellow human, or even how not too. This is what I thought about when I came across the idea of thoughtlessness. Because even with the very idea of thought, we can choose to think more or less. For instance: From the micro perspectives, what we choose to focus on through our individual interactions, and what or who we desire to give our attention to.

     On a more broader scale we can think about the larger issues. For instance: the refugee crisis, or political influence that creates the very crisis. At the level of politics we could even think about how thoughtlessness could be viewed as a crime against humanity; by choosing to give attention to some, whilst ignoring death, destructions, or starvations of one another. We simply participate in the crime associated with human consciousness. So even as society progresses or humans evolve, we must seek to protect human conscience so much so that we don't forget the simplicity that is found through the giving of a smile, a listening ear to our fellow humans, or what we choose to focus on.

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
