Thoughts on Thinking

Do you ever think about the reasons why we do things?

Not really.

You don’t ever think about why I am where I am and you are where you are?

Not really.

What do you think about?

When?

When you’re just…thinking.

Uh…I don’t really…just think.

Well, what about when you’re driving?

I listen to a cd.

What about when you’re eating dinner?

I watch tv.

What about when you’re falling asleep?

I listen to my iPod.

Shower?

Shower cd player.

Sitting on the toilet?

I read, mostly.

Really? I hate reading on the toilet.

I find it relaxing.

Why would sitting on the toilet in your own stink be relaxing?

Sometimes it...takes awhile.

Really? Then why would you sit on the toilet?

Well, you know you need to but you can’t…quite.

Man, I don’t even go into the bathroom unless it’s time. I do all my prep work when I’m eating dinner or watching television or something. Then when it’s time, it’s time. I’m in and out and on my way.

I see. Do you ever think about why we do the things we do?

Oh, yeah. I do.
