My mindless philosophy!!!

when I feel bored. I just hand out for a good book on philosophy. I quite enjoy these books My favorite philosopher is J Krishamurthy.
We are different from animals because we are capable of thinking and analyzing. Where animals merely user their brain. They rely most on instincts. They use instinct for hunting, breeding and migrating. Instincts are spontaneous, momentary and seasonal. They come by nature. Animals are guided by instincts.

Since man started using more brain than instincts in the coarse of action for our survival. We encountered lot of emotions in our lives. Mind is always associated with thoughts. Mind never exist without thoughts. Thoughtless mind is the ultimatum of any meditation. This is pinnacle of the state, mind can reach. This state is also called nirvana or enlightenment. Since thoughts are manipulative, boundary less and limitless. They are subjective rather than objective. Man used his mind to change his environment to make it more comfortable for living. This process lead him to emotional changes such as happy, dilemma, sad, angry, fear, lust and disappointment

Emotions are events, they can change the state of mind from happiness to sorrow or vice verse. So happiness and sorrow are just state of mind. They are not concrete, they are abstract. Mind can transit between these state to another any point of time. Emotions are trigger points for mind transitions between sorrow and happy. Example: disappointment can lead us to sorrow, and love can make us happier.

This is the reason mind is the core subject of philosophy. Understanding mind is the biggest challenge.

Religion institution were the primary effort in controlling mind in the name of god and inducing fear of hell and heaven. This worked for most. We are all belong to some religion. It teach us morals and values. Morals help us living good life in society.

Religion teach us about controlling thoughts of mind. Philosophy teach us about nature of mind. Philosophy is advisory by nature. Religion is more of caution. Philosophy is more of theory aspects of life.

So philosophy is more intersting just because it never force anything upon you. It will show you the meaning of life. Everybody is striving to be happy. They want it to be in same state forever.
Philosophy may guide us to find us one such key to keep all our mind in happier state forever.
