We think every day. That's because we are the most intelligent animals, able to use our brains to speak.
But then it suddenly occurred to me that there are genres in the thoughts we have.
Just like in dramas and movies, we can see that our thoughts are similar to sad, happy, horror, comedy, etc.
- “Seonji, I saw a cat yesterday. Even though it was a stray, it was so cute!”
- “A stray cat? Poor thing… That cat was abandoned by its owner and became a stray cat…”
It's the same now. Jihye, who saw the cute cat yesterday, felt a thought close to happiness. Dahye, who thought sadly of the stray cat Jihye spoke of, and you, who saw them all, must also be thinking, imagining the fictional images of Jihye smiling and Dahye sad. In a way, it seems humans spend every second thinking without regret. Even for seemingly insignificant things, like thinking of a passing sparrow as cute, we use our brains to think.
- “Dahye, do you think that a tiger living in the mountains is abandoned by its owner?”
- “A tiger? Tigers are scary, aren’t they? What if you raise a tiger and it eats you?”
- “So, not all stray cats are abandoned by their owners and wander the streets.”
Jihye and Dahye are twins. Although they were born together from the same mother, their conversation just now reveals that they have different personalities. However, I wonder if it is possible for people of the same blood to have such different personalities. Jihye always seems happy with positive thoughts, while Dahye seems sad with negative thoughts every day. The reason these two live differently is because our moods change depending on whether our thoughts are positive or negative.
If I were to ask the readers of this article a question, I would like to ask what kind of thoughts you had today. And I would like to say that if you want to live a happy life, you should live your life thinking positively about both the past and the future. Also, you should get rid of the thought that “I just need to be happy now.” Time is passing even now, and reading this article is becoming your past. Likewise, we must live with positive thoughts between the past and the future to be happy.
What we do and think has a profound impact on our lives and minds. Negative thoughts, in particular, are a cruel destructive force that can destroy your mental life, the very life you desire to live.
