What's in a thought?

Thoughts. Something so powerful as to have controlled human desire for millenia. Something so dangerous that people have killed over it. Something so simple as to take very little work. Something so incredible as to have created masterpieces.

We all think. We all have thoughts, and those thoughts shape who we are and what we become. What thoughts we allow to play in our head determine our actual play. What we think eventually becomes who we are.

It's such a simple concept really, but perhaps because it is so simple, people are afraid of it. They run from it. They fear it. Or perhaps they fear the responsibility for their thoughts. Who really wants to take credit for a base and lewd thought? Yet we are so often eager to take credit for our noble or inventive thoughts. Our thoughts are powerful.

Thoughts have been the cause of the rise and fall of many peoples, nations, groups, and ideals. We continue to have thoughts each and ever day. Even deciding not to think is a thought. Who we are and will become is shaped by our thoughts, be they clean and good and pure, or vile and base and destructive. Who do we want to be? What do we think about? Want to get to know someone? Learn what they think about, and you will learn them.
