I love to provoke others to think
This post may not be for you…If you are not a reader and thinker you will be bored with this post; just move on, no one cares to hear your blabbering about how long this is and why you disagree with it.
I love to provoke others to think.
To face conflict within themselves.
To struggle to find the right word that truly conveys what they really want to communicate. Not like these one line quips, meaning nothing. Chatting away,
it's just not my cup of tea.
I LOVE to really hear what you are thinking.
In that, I think that I feel validated as the listener and thankful for you,
the one sharing thought. I value thought.
It's a
Namaste
kind of appreciation.I'm sorry if it hurts, but I believe it's good for you.
You see, if it hurts, it's doing something, like working.
If it hurts it just might be growing and though you are unfamiliar
with that sensation and would rather run away from it than face it, try.
Don't be afraid of the hurt; no pain no gain as they say.
Why do I LOVE to provoke others to think?
Maybe I am trying to validate my existence and provoking you to THINK;
about anything really, I feel may be one of the larger purposes of my life.
I'm not afraid that you don't like what I think. I really don't care because it's NOT about me in the long run. I am just a bystander, a voyeur in ways, a dancer in the dance of Life
To see you tied up in a ball mentally is no joy for me,
but to see you work through a difficult thought, some cognitive dissonance,
for me is like seeing a baby get back up after they have fallen
from trying to take their first steps. There is LIFE.
It may come from Rene Descartes (Je pense donc je suis- in his French tongue
aka
"I think, therefore I am"
...or as articulated by Antoine Léonard Thomas, aptly captures Descartes's intent:
dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum
"I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am"
That's why doubting is actually a joy for me.
If someone says "I don't know", I feel that there is HOPE that a thought may spring up,
may overtake that bored and dull existence and CREATE a curiosity that is insatiable.
If you've read this and absorbed it deep enough, you will sense a deep sincerity on my part, because it is real. I confront myself about my thoughts, behaviors, my aspirations and goals, my loss and grief. I THINK. I'm not afraid of my thoughts and I really believe that this would would be a much better place if we had MORE THINKERS and LOVERS in it.
