Africa-Press – Angola. When thinkers and observers maintained and maintain that most men do not think, but think they think, it does not seem right, right?
Now let’s see what thought is?
A: Thinking is a complex mental process that allows us to analyze situations, form concepts, and make judgments about what we see and what surrounds us—that is, about what happens around us in our daily lives.
Observing what most people are doing, it’s clear that they don’t think, they’re just caught up in the minutiae of everyday life, allowing themselves to be carried away and controlled by media content; the way they share such content determines the engagement a person has with it…
Because they watch, share, and comment, people think they’re thinking, when they’re not, they’re just commenting and sharing the content.
Letting themselves be carried away, and controlled by what they see and hear.
When a person comes out of the prison of minutiae, and becomes an observer, from then on, he will see that most people are going from nowhere to nowhere; and are doing absolutely nothing, other than wasting their rich and precious time.
It doesn’t matter if they are educated or have houses, cars or a lot of money, from the moment they get caught up in the minutiae, there is no big difference between those who are educated and those who are not, those who have possessions, and those who do not, it will not be possible to distinguish one from the other, as they will have the same behaviors.
The big difference is that one will have a certificate, a nice car, travels to Europe, have quality clothes, expensive perfumes, and the other won’t. – But the conversation is the same.
The prison of minutiae never left them; what you see from a distance is only appearance. After a few minutes of conversation, you soon realize that despite the car, expensive clothes, designer watch, and good perfume, the person is still trapped in the minutiae. – That’s why, despite having money and the world, a good position at work, they only grow, never develop.
Because of this, in developed countries, even though they have money, they are treated as if they don’t. Many, once again, are mistaken in thinking that being elite means having possessions, where the origin of some people’s money is questionable; being elite means having a mindset that influences the growth and development of something or other. It’s above all about getting away from the minutiae.
Belonging to the Elite does not mean being neutral or creating difficulties for others; those in the elite create sustainable development.
Another time, I heard someone with a master’s degree commenting, and thought he was complaining…
Those who are caught up in the minutiae can’t even make this basic distinction.
