No Kates or Cates or cats here. Move along. Nothing to... yeah, that.

What do you do when you receive a present? A gift? You say "thank you" and go online to figure out if it's worth keeping or selling. Maybe you do other things with them, too.
Now, the former is dictated by society. The latter? Not sure who exactly rules over that. But suffice it to say it's well enabled by the very same governing body.

​

What do you do when you have a thought? Received or generated? Exactly! You go online and bla bla bla... I mean what else can you do?

 

A couple of thousand years ago some dude said "hang on" and "let's think about this first". To his brain. Probably. 

 

No clue where he got that from. 

 

So let's sidestep instead; 

and fast-forward some centuries: 

​

"Empty Mind + Education = Open Mind"

 

Talking about liberalism, of course. 

 

"Go to school to learn to be more open-minded!"

 

Haha! 

 

Or maybe that allowing a thought to enter your mind isn't quite the same as having it stick around. 
Thoughts are a lot like people; it's nice for them to come around, keep you company and all that. But you don't want everyone to move into your pad for good. 

 

Some of the people visiting, or others, have worries and fears and suspicious and concerns that some things might possibly happen in some way or other in the 
near or distant future, and understandably they get really upset. It's a big ask.
What they don't seem to have is the awareness that whatever is bothering them neither is the case yet, nor likely to happen in that particular way. 
Expect the worst doesn't mean you should focus all your time and energy on trying to mentally prepare for something you can't anticipate. 
It might be more helpful to look at those who believe miracles can be willed into existence through hope and figure out what's the opposite of that. 

 

Outside influences often try to tell us how or what to think. 

 

Too many words in that sentence. 

 

All they ought to tell us is to think. 

 

Then again, we shouldn't have to be told that. 

 

If there's something obvious, it's that.
