Sometimes during a reasoning to myself in the silence of my small apartment, I stop on a word because I feel my mind found another trail, along my thoughts, on which to think, the word in question then resonates in my mind in order to not lose the thread of my original reasoning; it's like a double call, by the repetition of the keyword on which my thinking has stopped I maintain a record, a clue that will allow me to come back and continue my reflection, just after having finished with the new path that my mind decided to follow; What happens if too many ideas occur in the process of a reasoning?
Too many words waiting, too many paths to analyze emerge; Probably, all implode and all these trails drop at once, the brain can't continue further a certain point, and he decides to return to zero and to gather his concentration on a single theme. The ideas are lost.
The words you speak of, you form associations with words and that is why hearing or reading or just thinking about certain words creates thoughts that indulge your mind in thoughts.
RépondreSupprimerSounds like you describe something similar to "writers block."
"Too many words waiting, too many paths to analyze..."
I can relate, there are so many thoughts and most of them remain hidden. But that doesn't mean my "ideas are lost," it just means I've placed them in the background somewhere and can't express them or don't chose to.
Not every idea needs to be expressed through words, if at all. That's how most people, it seems, live their lives. But those who do not fear self reflection return to their ideas, question themselves, analyze and learn from those ideas. Build new ideas based on the ones we analyzed, become better thinkers and in your case exceptional philosophers.
I think i fear to lose ideas this way. i'm the kind of guy who see ten paths to explore but can't follow one of them until the end and finish stranded and confuse, i feel like my mind lack of this one bit abilitity to reach my goals and really elevate myself. i'm sure i lose some ideas by being confuse.
