People who can stop their mind from thinking

I was standing outside getting the sunshine, suddenly, a friend of mind popped up. I asked him, how his PhD is going, to which he replied that he has already finished 3 years and after 6 more months his fellowship will stop. And an obvious question popped in my mind, so why don’t you start writing your thesis then. An obvious reply came (:)), “I haven’t done enough work”. And then I asked, Are you not worried? To which he replied very carelessly, “I don’t think about it”. God damn……. Second person in my life who said this “I don’t think”.

Actually, he can stop his mind from thinking that very soon he will be without fellowship. How can he stop thinking?, I don’t understand. I just can’t stop thinking about the problems in my life, they actually don’t leave me. As a matter of fact, sometimes I am paranoid, and invent problems for myself and then make my life worse by thinking about them. And, there is this guy, who is saying he don’t think about it.

I feel as if I have taken the responsibility of thinking for those people who don’t think, just managing the equilibrium of thinking process. Well the first person whom I met and declared the no-thinking paradigm is my dearest wife. She also says, I do not think, cool . Isn’t it.

I don’t know about other people, but for me , I am sick of thinking. I just don’t want to think for one day or for the good of it, say one hour. But I can’t.
