Mind, action and thought

Our mind is the most strange phenomenon in nature. One one hand it is extremely complex and on the other very simple. Rather, it is made complex due to the many psychological compulsions we have or acquire during our existence in this material world which causes the conflict and the pain, the resistance to certain aspects and the acceptance and acquisition of some. To be stoic, and just observe them without involving our "conditioned thought process" and let them pass by and not be entangled in them, is mission impossible - i am not saying unattainable. Life was always like a vast ocean and we float on this ocean with our small fishing net... catching things every now and then...we hold on to some while some we throw away thus creating - happiness and unhappiness.

Again all this acquired knowledge is used to build only our own self - our own beliefs, our illusions making everyone of us a self centered entity.Whatever we observe is guided by our desires, our motive our memory our thought. I want this , i don't want this, i am correct, i want to be a director, i want to an actor, i don't want a aeroplane, i don't want to read this shit, i know better, i want sex, i want solitude, i hate liquor, i like guys, i like to show off, i like to blah blah... knowledge makes us create an image of our own self and others around us in our mind from which our actions take shape... actions which takes shape from the self-centered knowledge and our selfishness, ego, vanity and aggression is always damaging and will give rise to conflicts - conflicts between man and woman, conflict between societies, nations, institutions, religious groups and all people.
