How To Be An Independent Thinker.
Mind works on the principle of senses. What we see is what we think. What we hear is what we think. Even what we smell is what we think. It also works on the principle of what we have been through in life e.g. if I had a fight recently I will be angry on little things. So the effect of external environment highly determines the mindset of most people in the world.

Lost In Their Minds.
Once upon a time I went to the market. I saw many people, some buying fruits, some eating, some cleaning the floor, some calling their loved ones, some were laughing and some about to cry. I saw one thing which was common. I.e. all of them were lost. Only some were actually thinking about what they were doing. Most of them were lost in their minds. Some thinking about how to widen their business. Some how to get a job. Some dreaming of a trip. Some how to get promoted. All of them had thoughts and least of them had right thoughts. I found that the solution for all of those minds was to have right thoughts. But what are right thoughts? Rights thoughts are not the genius ideas or the thoughts of high quality. Right thoughts are the thoughts about what we are doing right now. Because if we have thoughts about anything other than what we are doing, that adds up into stress and most of us then loose the control of our minds and get mad. We cannot solve problems while working. So to think what we are doing right now, I believe are the thoughts of highest quality and thinking about what we are doing gives quality. Example if I'm making a bread and I'm having thoughts about how to make the best bread, I will make the best one. If I will think about anything else, I will make the bread which I was making from years, means I will never improve. So thoughts about present gives quality as well as improvement. Now you may ask this question to yourself, why don't all of us think rightly? I belive most of the minds don't love to think about what we actually are doing. Because that creates a type of mental pressure, which only some do handle. Mind never loves to suffer, it always tries to escape from that pressure. To escape that pressure sometimes it starts to imagine of the better circumstances or have the thoughts about what happened recently. But those who handle this mental pressure never stop improving and they have better control on their lives. Because this pressure means actually our mind is learning new things or improving what we already know. So having right thoughts or presence of mind actually can make us the better thinkers or we can say right thinkers and help us to not get lost. Now the question arises isn't it important sometimes to get lost?

Bump? The young man apologizes, revealing his assumption that I’d accept any drug. He determined this, he says, by my relaxed sweats and Hawaiian button-up; lime-green GameBoy; Hokusai copy (not the great wave) hanging; Jose silver next to game leaves; and my confessed exploits with microdosing during this day’s regularly scheduled programming. I tell myself (hardly in earnest) that he is most likely correct and accept his offering. He says I am ‘the real,’ and I am left to decipher what this means from his earlier list of observations. I decide it must refer to people who are chronically depressed and filling pesky emotional voids with persistent substance abuse and tedious displays of appropriated interests. He rambles for some time before he tells me again that I’m as real as it gets, adding that this assessment includes people who don’t have social media profiles. I don’t tell him I don’t have social media profiles. He has lionized this misanthropic manic enough.

I moved to Ypsilanti, Michigan, at twenty-four years of age and thought I had lept before. I had lived in Kalamazoo for a year while attempting to attend Western and moved into a trailer on my own in Big Rapids. Yes, a two-hour drive to my parent's house down to a 10-minute bike ride, but independence was maintained, nonetheless. So I thought. I had paid only $250 a month for rent and had only juggled the cost of one or two utilities. I had never tried to manage a forty-hour work week to afford rising rent costs or the monopolized prices of energy and internet while managing a full course load in college. Up to that point, I had only done one or the other at any given time. I moved to Ypsi and learned I was slightly behind on the curve. With only a few hundred dollars in my bank account, it didn’t take long for the eviction notices to start piling up. The final call to court prompted the mass sale of my personal belongings. Clothing, games, pills and weed, services, and a keyboard my parents paid six hundred dollars for. That money should have gone towards their mortgage, but they believed in the off-chance that I would learn how to play.

Meditation – The Right Way and The Wrong Way
It is fascinating to observe how the world is going and how people think, but it is also sad because there is so much self-created human misery. As my understanding of how the ego operates in our mind becomes more apparent, my perception of reality becomes sharper. When comparing ancient civilizations with our present ones, I see no progress in understanding our minds. They created an escapist world then, and we are doing the same thing by following them now with a bigger and better one with our advanced technology. Thus, as we become more out of touch with reality, one does not have to be a prophet to predict mental illness increasing in societies worldwide.
