Mark Of An Educated Mind

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

Aristotle

There comes a time when we realize we have to let go, free ourselves from the burden which is causing us pain, and something which enables us to do this is the ability to have a thought and not accept it as true, we entertain the idea, not accept it.

How do we do this though?

• We calm ourselves
  
• We wait
  
• We stop wanting things to be what thoughts are telling us they are
  
• We allow things to be how they are.
  

If we dictate how things are in reality we are not living in reality, we are living delusional to how things are, we are being greedy wanting everything to be how we thing it should be, and we live in hate despising everything and everyone who does not conform to this reality we create.

At the end of the day I may be right, I may be wrong, but I share this hoping I am one, the other, both, or neither.
