Some of The Things We Do in Life That Doesn't Require us to Think
Can we live without thinking?
I am going straight to "the heart of the matter." How many times in your daily life have you did something totally without thinking? And I mean every syllable of the word, "totally"?
No, guys. I am not singling you out on this "not thinking," for we know that us guys are famous for acts done and things said without using the first brain cell. I will not use the phrase, "all of us guys," just mostly us guys for a lot of guys I know "can" and "do" think before, during, and after the said act or saying of a certain phrase. No wonder that these guys wear a prideful smile on their mugs every day.
Sure wish that I were one of them.
We have to learn plus think
The list of things cast in pictures (to the right) are common things we all do completely without thinking. But before we learned how to do them, there was that time when our confidence was shallow and fear controlled how we started to drink a cup of coffee which ended with the coffee spilled mostly on our shirts and not in our cup. It might have been the fear of something hot that we, as children had been taught would burn us and we would be taken to the emergency room.
The same principle is applied to drinking a cup of cold water, but we soon learn that cold water, even if spilled, will not burn us or send us for medical help. So with a few more trials with fewer errors, we learn to drink the delicious, refreshing water. Then we feel as if we have conquered a new continent due to our new-found confidence.
Things like driving takes a lot more confidence, plus a new area of wisdom: Patience. When put together and with practice, we master the automobile. So to speak.
I find unravelling a simple area of life fascinating. Don't you?
But not to leave any hub unwritten, I want to list a few more things that besides (the things in the photos to the right) or those I mentioned in the beginning of the piece . . .
