Everyone is a thinker...sort of!

I think everyone is a thinker or has the capacity to think. Perhaps the promptness of thoughts and type of thinking is what makes us different, but above all what we do with our individual thoughts.

Some put theirs into lyrics and chant it. Some translate them into words and write it. Some stand in their pulpits to preach it, some teach it and others perform it. Some prefer to keep theirs to themselves. Some will sit on some and disclose a few, like self-censorship, depending on either preference or situation.

To some, the best way to draw people in to their thought is by sounding loud, rather than tactfully persuasive. Such people have a tendency to expect everyone to think like them, which sometimes makes them fairly irrational, because they tend to discount the fact that everyone has their own way of doing or approaching things.

Some are sharper than others in reacting sensibly; that’s why whether at informal hangouts or in work group discussions, these quick-witted ones are likely to win undisputed consensus. However, where rivalry is given space, the slow thinkers have a tendency to be uncomfortable, and may allege that the smart ones are only trying to make their presence felt, when that’s not the case.

These things are natural. People who are acquainted with a certain subject matter are expected to act in double time and without uneasiness. It’s not theirs or anyone’s fault that things seem to be going their way. We are all styled and endowed differently, so don't hate the player because he’s winning, hate the game for jacking up the rules to a level beyond your reach.

I’m sure some of you’ll remember my bashing of those kids who fervently trust that “you only live once” (YOLO), mostly to feed their desire ...
