Just a thought

As I was walking out of Marillac, I heard some kid tell his friend to write his paper on what kind of thinker he was. When I heard this, it got me thinking (funny how that works out). I asked myself what kind of thinker I was. As my parents would say, sometimes I don’t think (hehe). But really, I had never thought about that question before…I’m not sure too many do. Is it even a real question?! I think my thinking varies depending on what I am doing…See, nope, that doesn’t make sense. No matter what, I am thinking. So ah, I think that’s my answer. Sometimes I think rationally and sometimes I don’t use ration to decided things. That is when I make bad choices. This is an extremely difficult answer, and I don’t know what to say. Ok, what kind of a thinker am I? I would like to think of myself as a coherent thinker, and someone who makes the right decision about things. Does this describe what kind of thinker I am though? Is anyone else becoming thoroughly confused? I am beginning to wonder if maybe that kid in Marillac was joking with his friend…maybe that’s why I shouldn’t listen to other people’s conversations…

Now if you didn’t notice, I used the word ‘think’ in every other sentence. That right their just proves that everything takes thinking. As Descartes (or however you spell it) once said, “I think therefore I am.” Hmm, that is who said that, right? Well in any case, it’s obviously natural for us to think because that’s what makes us differ from animals, our ability to rationalize (by thinking that is). Boy I feel really philosophical right now.
