Thinking

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of your brain. I wonder if you understand how much mental suffering you are causing yourself by thinking? In truth, I wouldn’t expect you to be fully aware of this danger; for, when I was your age, I thought a lot too; and I would have continued doing so, if I hadn’t learned about the damage that thinking does. Thinking destroys the way that a healthy mind works: it ruins your eyes and causes you to menstruate. If our foreparents Adam and Eve had abstained from thought, then we would never have ended up in this awful position; because thinking provokes the engorgement of its subject; and this is why Americans have such hulking hindquarters.
