Just a Thought

Conscious thought is the cause of all misery. A human being is a transport with a brain and that's all we'll ever be. If we were without thought we would never be sad, no matter how dismal our lives, we wouldn't know, so technically, the dimmer you are, the happier. I used to be happy, but my world was a lot smaller then, whereas, now I'm smarter, I'm more knowledgeable in the ways of the world, and I'm more depressed than before. Even as I write this, my thoughts are leading me elsewhere and I find it hard to put pen to paper. Thoughts are the backbone of our survival and yet I feel cursed by them. I know why, because thoughts without action are pointless, I need to learn to follow through. I often hear people say "I should have said that," "I should have done that" and "why didn't I think of that at the time?" and I always tell them, "why are you thinking of this now, you cant change the past, it's pointless." In the Bible, Ecclesiastics states that life is meaningless, if this is true, why do we need thought, and if life is meaningless, then surely what we do in life is meaningless, so therefore worshiping any god, real or false, in any way, would be a complete waste of time. I wonder if priests have taken this into consideration. That is a blatant example of where thoughts will get you; disproving the beliefs of millions of people over hundreds of years, and I guarantee you that they do not want to know the truth. Every five seconds I stop writing, my mind goes off on a tangent and I'm lost in thought. Thoughts tell us what to do, we act upon it, then our thoughts make us regret it, there's no escape. Even while asleep our thoughts are attacking us, causing us to dream, so when we wake, we're more tired then when we went to bed. "God giveth and God taketh away" why giveth in the first place if you're going to be an Indian giver? It could have kept most of my thoughts, god knows I don't need them, and then I wouldn't need to express my opinion, because I wouldn't have one. I'd write more, but I'm off to get lost in my thoughts once more.
