Fixing my thoughts - Finlay Brockett - Bog

We always look to thought to solve our problems but has anyone ever thought that thought is the cause of our problems and not the solution to them? If thought was the solution to the problems of the world which have all been created by thought, thought would have solved all the problems by now. We have been fixing the problems that our thoughts cause us with our thoughts which means that the criminal is dressing up in the garb of the policeman. Are we ever going to see through the charade or are we always going to be thinking that thinking can fix thinking? To fix thinking is the wrong way to go about things. We really shouldn't be trying to fix thinking what we should be doing is trying to understand thinking. When we understand thinking we fix thinking. When we try to fix our own thoughts without understanding the structure and design of thinking we only mess it all up which is what we have been doing for tens of thousands of years...1.Judgments and opinions are endless, and the conflict caused by them is endless as well 2.
