Listening n thinking

In a sense, listening is like the opposite of thinking.
When you think you can't truely listen.
Btw, have you ever try listening to your thoughts?
What happen when you put your whole heart to listening to your thoughts?
There might still be thoughts, but are they really thinking then?
Or they are just thoughts?

Pain never goes

The desire to run away from pain is the real pain.
On the other hand, the object you want to run away from is simply what it is.

Listening 2

Listening and projecting also don't go well together.

Not thinking about it doesn't mean the problem will disappear.
Thinking about it doesn't mean it would help.
Sometimes thinking do help to solve a problem.
Sometimes thinking brings no extra benefit except of painful headache.
Sometimes the solution you came up with is actually a death trap.
Sometimes the problem will naturally dissolve itself even when you do nothing.
So what can or should you do?
There simply isn't a perfect method.
Perhaps this is what is called life, or what life is all about.
There is no perfect method to get by.
Just live without having the perfect method and not demanding such an illusionary object might be is the only truthful method we can find.

Growing, Contradiction, Question

Once I heard an old crazy man said:  "In order to grow, you must endlessly contradict yourself."

Then, isn't it that in order to contradict yourself, you must question yourself or your views many times?

2 type of questioning

There are two types of questioning.
(1) questioning other views in the attempt to defeat them and defend your own view
(2) questioning something, in the sense of exploring, out of the sake of gaining greater understanding and clarity of the object being examine
Guess which one would strengthen our fixation and which would help us to expand our mind?

Listening

Listening and grasping...don't really go well together I guess.
