How to Cope with Stupid Thoughts

 

We all think stupid thoughts. You know the ones which do not make any sense once you are able to think rationally. These thoughts usually arise out of frustration and a feeling of helplessness.

For example the thoughts of;

Ending your life if you think living is meaningless

Killing someone if that person makes life hell for you

Thinking that things will never change and falling into depression

Letting the world have its way with you just because you can’t seem to get a grip on your life

Choosing to give up your dreams for the wrongly perceived security of the present moment

Acting out of confusion and allowing the mental fog to drive your actions

The only solution is to inject TIME between thinking any such stupid thought and acting on it.

Time changes things. Everything. That is for sure. Time is the biggest mystery in the world.

So next time just wait such thoughts out whenever they arise and you’ll thank yourself later on.

Time goes, you say?  Ah no!
Alas, Time stays, we go.
