Think

Sometimes when things happen, we ask the question why. Even though we ask the question ultimately knowing the answer before asking, we ask anyway. Usually what happens is if it sounds too much like right then it’s something we tend to shy away from. I think that happens mainly because it requires thought and rationality. I’m not sure when it happened, i’m not sure why it happened but its happening every minute of every day everywhere. Most people think and the rest have the capacity for rational thought. Has laziness consumed everyone? When I speak to people on a daily basis I find that I run across more people complaining about things that either could’ve been avoided just by taking a minute to think before doing or could have been achieved in a much easier fashion.

How much time does it take to stop and think really? I ridicule my friends because they actually think and in their world(s) others don’t so they get frustrated. I simply ask the question…’Are you thinking again?’ It’s become a running gag between us but it’s sad to know that there are so few people that actually think before they do or speak. Rational thinking cannot be applied to an irrational act. It just doesn’t work. I like to think of myself as a realist and in most cases I’m blatant and to the point. Make no mistake, being rude is not my thing, however, pointing out what should be otherwise obvious is something I can’t seem to bypass. My intent is to be constructive in my criticism to help people to realize what’s wrong and hopefully assist them in any way that I can.

My message is simply this…it only takes a moment to think before you do something that can take you a lifetime to forget.
