On Thinking

At the top of the most ludicrous beliefs that we entertain certainly ranks the conviction that human beings are rational creatures. Hardly ever we do what we think we need and want to do, almost always our unconscious is in charge. So how come we won't acknowledge it? Well, we are not made to face reality, we prefer illusions.

Why did you do this? What did you think? The honest answer would be: No idea, really, for we do not know why we do what we do, and we do not know why we think what we think. Moreover, it might be questionable that we think at all. As far as I'm concerned: Thinking (or what we call thinking) seems to happen without me having an essential part in it. To say that something seems to think inside my head would be clearly more appropriate, at least in my case.
