Thoughts Maketh a man

Thoughts - Dr Prem

Aristotle said man is a social animal and thus leaves in a society and who can live without a society must be either a god or a beast.

Man lives in a society with other individuals by the thought of having security not only socially but economically and politically also. As Aristotle further says man is political by nature.Moreover man’s thought alone make him human thus he can formulate refine and share his thoughts. Man is the only animal who can think and act. Animals only act without thinking. But apart from thinking can shape his thoughts according to the situational needs. Thus he is considered as the master of thoughts.

Man’s mind is like an empty vessel and the thoughts are like water. Water is shapeless but takes the form of its container. Likewise man’s mind takes the shapes the thought. If our mind is pure, healthy, thoughts develop are also healthy and keeps us happy and the joy follows us. That’s what Buddha tells in the above quote.

Man is intelligent in making thoughts; is capable of connecting the broken pieces of ides and weave it in to a fine knowledge of science, politics or philosophy. However, it is completely the responsibility of the man himself to shape them properly in a manner that it doesn’t harm others because the same will be received by other side as the mirror shows the image what is in front of it.

Thinking alone can keep the man alive and keeps to continue his life. If the thinking stops the man is dead almost. He thinks by seeing and studying and learns again by thinking. It’s a continuous process. This accumulates the knowledge in him. And if this formulation of thoughts goes wrong the result is a bad thought which yields bad result and vice-versa. In this regard it is very essential to give prominence to only positive thinking and keep check on negative thoughts. As we are the first receivers of the consequences of our thoughts we should be vigilant enough to look at our thoughts from a critical point of view. To avoid ourselves getting fixed in embarrassing situations we need this touch stone method of checking our thoughts and analyzing them critically, as they shape our personality. For the healthy thoughts to be generated the atmosphere we live in also contribute a lot. As we live and die inside the society our thoughts are also shapes by the outside atmosphere. But it is our cautious effort to be clear and pure in mind in order to get good thoughts. Thus always think well; be good and be bold and do good to get good.
