Mark Twain once said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." If the mundane intricacies of clothing can make us who we are, what have we to say about our own thoughts?
A man who does without thinking is foolish.
A man who thinks without doing is paltry.
If our thoughts can inadvertently lead to our demise or victory, why then do we not give them attention? I ask you, the reader, this one question: Do our thoughts guide our actions? Or do our actions guide our thoughts? The resolution may seem easy at first, but before you make your decision, think about whether it was your actions, or your thoughts that lead you to that theory--For a theory is merely a thought.
Upon spelling some whimsical nonsense without thinking about the implications of his words, some find later that it wasn't a bad idea. Yet there are others who contemplate their situations and later act on those previous thoughts thinking it was a good idea at the time.
The question remains: Should we rely on our thoughts, the only singular thing that can only be possessed by our own selves, or should we act, and let our thoughts and worries follow suit?
If the line between right and wrong are drawn with the pencil of our thoughts, our actions can only complicate the process...
