>>12218559I'm just type of philosopher. It's kinda fun for me to think. When you think a lot, there are few stages you go through.
At first, you don't think much. Most of your thoughts are pretty simple and 'short'.
Second stage is when you're starting to get paranoid. It's like overpredicting in pokemon. You just think too much and in the end you lose, because it was simpler than you thought. Many people stop there and advice others to not think about things, because it only causes confusion. Sure, it's easier to do, but isn't the best solution.
Third stage when everything is starting to make sense. Like when you find algorythm/pattern or start finishing puzzles. That's when you start to enjoy thinking, because it makes life easier than ever before. You can solve much more problems, you realize that many things have no sense and you stop caring about them. Often you know yourself much more and know what is better for you, feel more free and much happier. You can look at things from a completly new point of view. Maybe some of these asian religions were some kind of ways to achieve this, or similar state of mind.
