Doubts and Decisions for Living Vol. I Tom Omidi Enhanced edition

The value of a person's thoughts depends on his/her personality, primary wisdom, mood, and motives. However, we all share the same fundamental thoughts about life intuitively. They are the most primitive and instinctual thoughts (and questions) that we reflect upon regarding our existence. They are primary thoughts behind the whole philosophy, processes, and actions of life. We know intuitively-like a kind of magical power-about our need for fundamental thoughts to define life, grow our convictions, and develop a personal life philosophy. Only then, we believe, we can begin to justify our existence as an intelligent person somewhat. At the very least, we like to feel some basic senses of compassion, love, and peace in line with valid thoughts. At the same time, the miraculous, vast scope of our thoughts reflects the complexity of human nature and hints the possibility of reaching a higher level of humanness if only we understood our naiveté, sentiments, brilliance, arrogance, and ignorance that be-siege us, all at once or in rotations. We only need to know the right thoughts to make our lives meaningful. Surely, our success in life depends on our character and back-ground, but also personal efforts to control our thoughts at least thirty percent of the time. Even this minimal awareness of our thoughts is helpful for maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Yet, most of us do not know the best way of using our brains.
