Le Penseur in me...

I have been accused a lot...by family, friends and foes. They accuse me of "Thinking"! Sounds rather bizarre?? I'm sure it does considering that thinking is something all of us are doing all the time even they themselves, otherwise how would we function??

But I'm guilty as charged!! I think, i think a lot...I think so much that I think about what I'm thinking and then analyze it even further until i dissect it to the minutest level of thinking that the brain can possibly achieve.

Let me clarify, this whole thinking business is not something that I tend to do on purpose...it just happens. Traditionally life has put me into situations that have made me think and not feel, as what probably others tend to experience. That's right, I think, not feel.

On other thought, keeping the comments of my self-confessed critics aside, and looking at it from my perspective...Thinking is therapeutic. If I stop thinking, I will lose the joy of thinking—the joy of reaching the minutest detail that a situation could bring forth.

I would be this person who would leap into things without weighing the pros and cons, without assimilating the valid information that might just save me from making a valuable decision for myself or others.

So here's to my prosecutors, who accuse me of "thinking too much"... 'I am what I am because of my thinking and will continue to do so'!

I rest my case.
