“Peace of Mind”
The common way
Being a human being, I can only live without air for a few minutes. I'll survive without food for just a few weeks, without water for merely a few days—but I can do without thought forever and that is exactly what I intend to do. Then, like most people, I could truly achieve "Peace of Mind" and never again will I be interrupted by the inconvenience of thought. It is in this way that I shall obtain 'peace of mind' in the purest possible form.
When I consider sustaining the lack of an opinion or being devoid of thought, I am enticed to no avail. Seemingly, everyone has met-up on the raod of 'No Resistance' without me; my only wish is that I would have known how to get there before now. Apparently, I've been thinking too much and running a little behind, to combat this, I must certainly allow the body of water that is my mind to stop raging, to stop flowing altogether-- to become stagnant and cold-- and then to become frozen. Until that happens, I anticipate the 'peace of mind' I’ll accomplish as my mind settles into inactivity and slowly freezes-over. This is precisely similar to that of most-everyone on earth-- and (without thought) I am jumping-off of this cliff too.
Never again will I exert invisible energy thinking or waste time thinking; I could be living (free from thought!). Never again will I spend any time thinking about what other people refuse to- whether that refusal is a result of direct laziness or mere apathy. Like them, I will go days, months or even years of my life in the absence of thought; I will be guided through life by an invisible hand of power directing me (and everyone else) where to go. That way I can be weak and weak-minded and taken care-of like everyone else. So when things don't go my way, instead of being happy about what-is (like in previous times)-- I'll simply bitch mindlessly with my new founded peace-of-mind like most-everyone else.
Honestly, I recommend thought daily. But, since many people write the daily essays of their lives without authoring the necessary concluding paragraphs, I’ve decided that the easiest path for everyone else will be the path that I, too, shall travel. Ah yes- The Path of Less Thought (here I come). Wait-up everybody because I’m running down the yellow-brick road, paved by the media that goes in circles, to catch up to the sheep being herded by the politicians. Baaah, I want to be sheep too. Please don’t leave me everyone, because I want to be sheep too.
From now on, instead of spending time with my mind, engaged in thought; my mind will be as peaceful as the surface of the center of the ocean.
Out of my mouth, (from now on) you will only hear common clichés, followed by irrational angers, accepted personal weaknesses, occasionally curse words—but never thought. Like a whore, I’ll let whoever can inject their opinion into my reality the fastest take me to bed because I’m tossing my thoughts out to the wind, so I, too, can easily achieve the common man’s Peace of Mind.
