Thoughts

"A person who thinks all the time Has nothing to think about except thoughts So, he loses touch with reality And lives in a world of illusions By thoughts, I mean specifically, chatter in the skull Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words Of reckoning and calculating I'm not saying that thinking is bad Like everything else, It's useful in moderation A good servant, but a bad master And all so-called civilized peoples Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive Because, through excessive thinking They have lost touch with reality That's to say We confuse signs With the real world This is the beginning of meditation" - Alan Watts
