💬 #Ebook #Quote | As a Man Thinketh

UNTIL #thought is linked with #purpose there is no intelligent #accomplishment. With the majority the bark of thought is allowed to "drift" upon the ocean of life.

#Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

The boldest thinker may have his moments of languor and discouragement, when he feels as if he could willingly exchange faiths with the old beldame crossing herself at the cathedral-door, — nay, that, if he could drop all coherent thought, and lie in the flowery meadow with the brown-eyed solemnly unthinking cattle, looking up to the sky, and all their simple consciousness staining itself blue, then down to the grass, and life turning to a mere greenness, blended with confused scents of herbs, — no individual mind-movement such as men are teased with, but the great calm cattle-sense of all time and all places that know the milky smell of herds, — if he could be like these, he would be content to be driven home by the cow-boy, and share the grassy banquet of the king of ancient Babylon. Let us be very generous, then, in our judgment of those who leave the front ranks of thought for the company of the meek non-combatants who follow with the baggage and provisions. Age, illness, too much wear and tear, a half-formed paralysis, may bring any of us to this pass.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1860-09), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 18, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 35

@airshipper yeah yeah!
Like, if we’re all the equivalent of cells on the biosphere of the Earth’s surface,
then ideas would be the abstract (holographic?) representation of
relevant information flux (travel) thru an area in a given time span.

So then

Also I discovered a fundamental truth about neurotype communication! Possibly.

And / or I may be overtired after migraine postdrome and need sleep desperately.
