Is thinking a good thing or a bad thing?
If we don't think, how will we live?
Well, is living a good thing or a bad thing?
If you need to think to live, then you have to ask yourself, do I need to live?
If you need to live, then, well, I guess that means you need to think.
Of course, some people can live without thinking, I suppose, or without thinking a lot, so it's not true that you stop living if you stop thinking.
But whether thinking is a good thing or a bad thing really depends on your perspective and on your belief.
Because it's actually not a good thing or a bad thing intrinsically.
It's just a thing.
And the Buddha's teaching is to realize that.
To let go of your attachments to thoughts as good or bad.
And desire for new thoughts.
Or even your desire for not having thoughts.
to give up entirely thinking and to let go.
