Most people are other people.
Their thoughts are someone else's opinions,
their lives a mimicry,
their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
with no disrespect to anybody, most of the things that perpetrated my cerebral membrane today seemed to have retarded my intellect. ironic especially since i set out today with a new book by edward said in my bag, all ready to end the day so much the richer having consumed some reading material. unfortunately, i was faced with a constant barage of critical thinking, which in itself is faultless, but in my opinion, sadly inadequate without the accompaniment of lateral thinking. the western culture of dialectic, or the 'clash' system, will, in my mind, always be a hindrance rather than a help. for more on these views on thinking about thinking that i have gleaned off books from a rather young age, do try some simple reading of Prof Edward De Bono. Easily digestable and remarkably logical for a topic as abstract as thinking about thinking. i am naturally biased as an alumnus of de Bono's thinking school but nevertheless, the hols are coming up. you can always spare some time for a decent read.
