Clarity

I've realised something.
I haven't been thinking very much for a while now. There has been less self-introspection and I've often very consciously redirected or corrected my thought processes once I notice them going in a certain direction.
I haven't been thinking clearly, clarity has been very much so not of priority. Yet, bizarrely, I don't think I've ever acted or made decisions so concisely, or clearly before.
I do promise though, to myself at least, to explore further. To poke a little further. There is much to discuss.

"There's so much to discuss". Love it. Clarity comes when I least expect it, sometimes.
Do you feel that you weren't thinking clearly if you realise that you were wrong about X? Or does that just make you think that you were missing information, life experience, or something else, related to X?

What factors aid fast decision-making? Strangely, I can't answer this question from my own personal experience. Sometimes, it's tiredness. Sometimes, the old decision-thoughtcycle-terminator, emotion. But then again, those also sometimes have the opposite effect sometimes.

LOL. I once had a teacher in primary school who insisted that her clearest moments was when she was on the toilet, especially just after she'd done a shit. haa.

In a similar train of thought, a male friend also confided in me that he thought clearest after an orgasm. Especially when his emotions or thinking was unclear and concerned a girl. He alluded that all guys thought this way, and since then has given me food for thought on this.

lol. :)

There's this physical release, this loss of tension. It makes one realise just how much we are tied up into our physical bodies, these examples aside.

HAhahaha that teacher's story is hilarious. So she's literally got less shit in her, and then she thinks more clearly.
Do you know people used to think shit responsible for most diseases, and getting rid of it as early as possible the cure?

Hmmm weird that your friend thinks clearest after an orgasm. That just totally does not happen for me, at all. I'm thinking very little after an orgasm. I think clearest about an hour after waking up from a decent sleep, with the aid of coffee. Apparently though, emotionally at least, men's brains most closely resemble female's brains (and vice-versa) in the seconds after an orgasm
