I wonder whether thinking is a habit. I have often read thinking and imagining also can be cultivated in life. But I do not agree fully even if I do it partly.
Imagining can be added, and of course we can descend on a domain of imagining things and yet the capacity for imagining things is apart from cultivation or education.
It is something Independent and it comes spontaneous. We tend to artificailize it. But we can not incarcerate thinking.
Thinking is something that comes naturally and even a bay, uneducated at a very tender age has the capacity for imagination and there is no limit how much man can imagine.
We through our erudite minds try to intellectualize, theorize or conceptualize everything but all can not be theorized at all.
Man's capacities for thinking are above all things. I agree trim our minds and of course some ideas of the world. Like in my babyhood I used to think that tall mountains lead to heaven or that if climb a big mountain we can reach heaven. Now I thru erudition I do not imagine the same. But this is a very tiny drop in the ocean of imagination. Or to put totally differently, education or cultivation add just a drop to the ocean only.
Therefore accustoming someone or patterning someone's flow of thinking is a wrong endevaor.
At times I feel education belittle our capacities for thinking and of course we think deeply and profoundly and we blur all borderlines, margins or verges.
Thinking is man's exclusive privileges and we are here now chatting on the net, sharing ideas endlessly adding new threads and doing responses only owing to the fact that we have capacities for thinking.
It is not a habit, or something that a school can customize us. It is something natural. It is instinctive and not acquired in life. Let us not belittle our capacities for imagination or cripple or stifle it. Let us take its own course.
Let us not habituate it out of our learning and let it take its pure course, independent of our erudition or education.
