In early times the mental thinking of man was clearer, with fewer impulses from outside, but also with more baseless rigidity. There were more traditional thoughts and ideas and they were unchangeable. Nowadays there are, thanks to the development of education, more logic and freedom in stake. One can think for oneself and draw own conclusions, fitting more into one’s own live. And because of the enormous avalanche of knowledge through books, magazines and social media, much more has become uncertain. And the mental thinking has become larger than it was in earlier days.
There is now great agitation, too much
information and as well endless new information. This requires a basic attitude
of man relative to his own thinking in order to remain clear, keep the overview
and to remain oneself.
The simplicity of thought requires but one
compelling and clear hint.Putting in perspective.
At what one thinks, likes, conceives, statements
is developing, has chosen as religion or has acquired as philosophy of life the next is desired.
And there is only one mental choice needed to keep everything calm and clear
and bright and open. That is the ability to put things in perspective.
What is this and how does one do it?
Putting in perspective
of one’s own thinking and all its products, proves to be just saying simply to oneself:
"This is what I am thinking, but they are only my thoughts and the other
seven billion people think differently. It is my truth and there are seven
billion truths. " This makes one will never become a fanatic, a fundamentalist
and rigorous. And how does one put everything in perspective as easy as
possible? By invoking the spirit of humour or simply said, by laughing and smiling at oneself. Then one realizes that
what one has thought is most charming, but in the meantime not very relevant
for the rest of the cosmos. And in the meantime it is very important in one’s own
live in this cosmos.
Putting in perspective demonstrates wisdom,
space and openness. And these are in a world of seven billion people desperately needed.
My blessings to you all
