Thinking versus Action
We,as people, have the ability to think and to act as time goes by. If so the time comes that a man must act without thinking, he will be at a loss. But just as well, he is at loss when he thinks, but does not act. Here, in the world, there are some extremely thoughtful people, and these people have the potential to make a difference in the world. If all these people do is think, then the only people who know of this, or are moved by this, are the one’s who think the same way, or about the same things. If these people, with there great minds full of questions and ideas, instead, showed humanity what they know, they could change them all, for better or for worse. However, no matter how great the thought, the action makes the difference.
When someone takes action on a matter or subject, they are showing everybody else how they think the matter should be solved. When these actions take place, they are henceforth, judged. If the actions are great, they will move people; they will make people think; they will help with the matter. If the action is not great, they will create a negative stir. Great thoughts spark great actions, and great actions spark great thoughts. However, in today’s fast-paced society, a person who commits no action, is useless to the rest of humanity. If they kept all their thoughts to themselves, and did nothing to take these great thoughts and make them into great actions, then humanity would not benefit from them, unless a thoughtful mind came into contact with them.
If a scientist has an amazing idea, which might be a link to the cure for cancer, no one would ever know this, unless he found out for himself, and let the rest of the world know. Doing this, would in turn, allow all other scientists to study this new found answer. After time and time again, these scientists would find a cure for this dreadful thing. Then, the millions of people worldwide who are dying or in extreme pain from cancer, could be cured. This is all thanks to a scientist who didn’t keep his thoughts to himself, but acted upon it.
Ideas form in the head’s of all humanity. Some of these ideas are private, and have no need for others to know of, while some of them are amazing, and great. These ideas should be acted on, in all essence. When the action is committed, then the world will know what great things can come, or even what bad may come. But when these actions are left simply as thoughts, this person will never see what they can do to the world.
All in all, Great actions are by far more amazing, useful, etc, than great thoughts. Sure, they all must start with great thoughts, but these great thoughts should eventually break free. If someone has a great idea, then other people should know of this idea, so something can be made of it. Each and every person on this earth has the ability to change something about it, and all should try to do this. However, being the basis of all great actions, great thoughts are just as important, but for other reasons.
