MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS

 

 

                                                MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS

            Thoughts are mental treasures of various types. They are everybody’s possession. Even very small children have unexpressed thoughts. But adults are full of thoughts both silent and spoken. These thoughts are related to life’s  innumerable activities. They may be abstract, concrete, vague, solid, critical, creative, analytical, reflective, emotional, useful, foolish, wise, relevant,  abstract, practical,  etc.

            According to a relevant quote : thoughts are the mental processes of our mind, expressing ideas, beliefs, judgments and interpretations , shaped by experience and culture. You can read or listen to  thoughts of great minds on anything and every subject .

            Here are a few miscellaneous thoughts that can  enrich and enlighten our minds.
