As a civilization, we are thinking to much. We are thinking so much that we try and force other people to think about the things that we think about. We think so much that we are turning into babbling idiots. We think so much that most of the thinngs we think about are wrong, we think so much that we dont even know how to enjoy life. We think so much that we think we know how to livwe longer....WE DONT. We think so much that we die thinking, we die exercising, we die miserable. A while ago i walked through an old cemetary and i looked at the dates in the headstones and was like WTF these people lived longer than we do. They probably spent less time thinking and more time enjoying life too but probably smoked less, less stress etc. But even taking that into consideration do health 'nuts' live longer? Is there ANY evidence to support this, because someone must be hiding it. We think so much that we think we have all the answers, but we keep asking the sam damn questions. Thank you for your time. I thought of this while reading the 'Is eating meat morally wrong thread' and also seeing a recent interview of the guy in the Beach Boys when people counted him for dead in the 60s.:shrug:
On the other hand, how do you stop thinking? And isn't it enough to just think about what you will do during the day or what you will eat. Seems like not much has been getting solved by all this thinking. The big questions remain unanswered, the same problems unsolved and especially if your not getting paid to think, then why bother?
Today Americans live longer on average than any past generation on record. Humans can't stop thinking so of course they will die thinking for it keeps their body functions going up till the end. I would say it a different way. Humans teach others to learn ways to try and better themselves. The real problem is which way that others teach are the correct ways to follow. If we take the time to research whatever we want to learn and find the truth then what we learn is not wrong at all. Enjoyment of life for some is to learn which requires allot of thought. Perhaps they should do as others do and take time off and just do stuff that doesn't require allot of thought like swimming, walking, hiking, biking, etc.. As I stated above Americans today are living longer than past generations so you shouldn't think that way at all. Also those in the past had to worry just as much as humans do today only about some different things as well as the things humans have always worried about like family, money, jobs etc.. I do hope that , if you think to much, you take time out and just do something that you never have done before that requires very little thought. I mentioned a few things already but I'm sure you can come up with more of your own. Force yourself just to sit down and relax for an hour a day away from everything if you can.

That isn't true. It has been scientifically proven we use ALL of our brains, just at different times.
I find a lot of people here think too much. Its like talking to Clinton. "depends on what your meaning of 'is' is.
he he, i knowPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! also, we know much more so we have more things to think about that do not have a direct impact on our lives. not to be confused with worry but what is the point? i wish i could be a workaholic and concentrate on one thing.
I did not say that it was all good. And didnt i tell you three times that i do not belong to any religious groups or churches. I have been in a few Churches and a few Synagogues, a few Mosques and a few Hindu temples. Total over 100 mostly as a guest. Ask me about them and i will tell you the details.
