What makes each individual person think the things they do?
Do our thoughts arise from the specific things that we love? I think that they do. I don't think you can think anything that doesn't somehow confirm something that you have a love for.
For example, I could be thinking these things that I am writing because I love sounding intelligent. I could also be thinking them because I love deep, exploratory ideas. However, I am fairly certain that I am not thinking them because they are reasonable or rational things to be thinking. My thoughts don't arise because they are reasonable or rational.
Reason and rationality are filters that are applied after thoughts arise, at least in my opinion.
It seems also to me that reasonable and rational are flexible terms. They can easily be twisted depending on different scenarios and circumstances.
I think the only way to determine if the things we are thinking are of any substance at all is to determine what it is that we love that is making them rise up. It seems if we try to apply the filter afterward of reasonable or rational, that we might easily be able to convince ourselves that any clever sounding thought is worth something.
The value of a thought arises from the intent that brought it forth, at least in my opinion.

Who God REALLY is.
You have all heard the characteristics of God. You have all heard that God is all loving, all powerful, all present.
But that isn't who God IS.
God is inside of us. God is the notion that everything is going to be okay even when nothing is okay.
God is the gentleness in the eyes of those who love. God is the hands of those who comfort.
God is the innocence of those who know no fear, no worry, no pain.
God is the joy of being alive because life is so obviously beautiful.
God is the knowing that even when our bodies die, we will not.
God is the dream that somewhere people love for the sake of love and don't care what's in it for them. They only care to take away your pain and your fear.
God is hope. God is human.
God is here.
He is with you.
He is the warmth inside you.
He is holding you.
He is kissing you.
He is putting your sadness to sleep.
God is the gentle one.
He is the loving one.
Don't run away from Him.
He is your only chance of happiness.
Be full of Him.
Be held by Him.
Sleep inside His arms.
Your sorrow is a dream.
Wake up to God.
:)

Not a real blog, just a temporary assignment.
I had some blogs before, and now I don't have them anymore.
I deleted them. That's not true. I didn't delete them.
But I did remove them from my profile.
I keep changing, and so must my blog theme, therefore.
This is the way of it.
Don't question. I wouldn't answer if you did.
I am intelligent and super eccentric. Don't question.
You won't be answered.
Impermanence is key.
I am on a temporary assignment. Aren't we all?
