The article of Thinking Folly is written by Eckhart Tole. In this article, he exposed about what happened when people had different kind of thinking. What makes you different from others? What is differentiate between clever people and less educated people? Thinking. The way we think that makes us different from each other. The way we think also created whom we are today.
Thinking makes us separated from our own world. Thinking makes us separated from nature and God.
Sometimes we are forced to make a decision but we feel ourselves to be pulled in opposite directions by reason and emotion. Thinking creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, words, judgments, and images that blocks a true relationship. Tolle wrote in his article “you are unconsciously identified with it, so you don’t even know that you are its slave . Its almost as if you are being possessed without knowing it, and you take the possessing entity to be yourself." This shows that Tolle believe people do not always think but our mind used us. He said that your mind conquer you and this is all only delusion. He also said that scientist does not creative not because they do not know how to think but they just do not stop thinking.
"The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not the possessing entity-the thinker", Tolle wrote in his article. This shows that, he believe people will be happy when they are not being possessed by their own mind. People must realized that love, creativity, joys and many more happens beyond our own mind.
