Most of us are living in thoughts,

And all the life activities are driven by thoughts,

By numerous reactions,

Emotions,

Impulse.

From home to work to education to every corner of society,

Thoughts are everywhere.

Compared to other species on the planet,

Human beings are able to use thoughts to do a lot of things,

Making a lot of things.

From the car on the road,

The ships on the water,

To the space exploration,

Using thoughts,

Human beings are rather capable of doing a lot of things.

But thoughts are also dangerous.

At first sight,

People might not associate it with the physical danger,

But when one really goes into the nature of thoughts,

The essence of it,

One must find out for oneself that the danger of thoughts is also part of this physical danger.

In this outer world,

We have accumulated abundant knowledge about all kinds of things,

Which embodies this civilization.

Unfortunately,

The knowledge doesn't really stay in the right place.

It overflows into the psyche,

Bringing about numerous and diverse psychological activities,

Or the mental world we live in,

Perhaps we are trapped in.

To look at ourselves is to understand the nature of thoughts,

Because our existence in this world is merely based on some thoughts.

The name,

The prestige,

The fame,

The position,

The title,

Salary,

Estate,

Money,

Everything is around this name.

And for most of us,

The name has the extraordinary meaning for the living.

The neural loops are functioning around that name,

And that's become the existence of most people on this planet.

A conceptual existence based on a name.
