I think therefore I am

We think we think, but what does it mean to think?

An animal thinks, but it only thinks of it’s food – I remember a study done by a professor in which a monkey had to find its way out of a maze for a reward – the professor said the monkey was a genius, perhaps every monkey is a genius, but they don’t think, it is only their instincts that activate their minds.

To think is to be, is correct, for it is rarely when we are thinking – when our thoughts are independent of our desires that we then truly can comprehend reality!
