The one who listens, thinks, observes

Bruce Lee once said “The most dangerous person is the one who listens, thinks and observes”. As little I know, the mind one lost in his thoughts is the most dangerous mind. Let's understand this by an example: the most dangerous criminal would be the man gifted with reason but with no moral. There is a movie called ‘The silence of the lambs' . Its about a serial killer. Likewise a coward with a gun is the most dangerous person. I would consider a person who is lost in a book is a good one but. Mostly it depends on what exactly is he reading? He might be reading the book named “100 ways to kill someone without being caught.” It is also because the man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.

From the above famous quote of Bruce Lee, the first thing that I would like to say is that I didn't quite get the meaning of being dangerous, what I mean to say that there are two conditions :- Mind is dangerous for the society or a single person or a mind dangerous to oneself. So If we go with the first condition or with the second condition, it won't really make a difference because a mind lost in books is a progressive mind (I am not trying to say that a mind lost in own thoughts is not progressive or anything like that!)

I mean that if you are into books (lots of) so you won't be having any spare time to care about anybody's shit and less caring and attachment means a more peaceful mind and everyone knows the rest… Similarly a person who reads a lot of books would be smart enough to not to damage himself/herself …. So I guess I proved my point. Now a mind lost in own thoughts can be a little dangerous ( a little is a mere word here! ) The most dangerous person is the one who stays silent , thinks and then at react at the best time!

There are many examples like a “Joker” is the best one, there was a time in my life when I was really depressed so I created a fake world inside my head where I did whatever I wanted (I mean imagined, not exactly did) and that whole time I was transformed into a totally different person, a person who stayed silent and all that and I saw others weaknesses very easily so I was able to predict what they were going to do and reacted according to that ( here I may seem to be a lunatic but believe me it happened and I really enjoyed it!) But that came and went and being normal again feels good!

So a man lost in his thoughts of defeat and all that who's will power is not strong enough can really damage himself/herself but if you are even a little like “joker” then my friend you can win everything. So this kinda man can be a danger to both the society and to himself too! By “joker” I mean the famous character of batman played by “Heath ledger”. Here I am not generalising and if in case you don't agree with me them please tell me your opinions in the comments section below! Peace!

Lost in your thoughts” is way more dangerous. Because that way you have a higher chance to be dragged by the darkness (negative & destructive thoughts) and only a small chance to skyrocket towards the light (positive and constructive thoughts). To be capable enough to employ your thought process for a positive cognitive boost, you need to Read. Books are your best friend even when you have no one around. That’s how geniuses are made: they read, they ponder, they get struck by Ideas, they create, and they embrace success. Period.

Lost in your Book”, on the other hand is something you need to standout. The more you read, the sharper your mind become. The sharper your mind become, the clearer the life appears to you (and the easier the questions in test paper seem to you. Books are said to be a person’s true friend because of a reason. They give you insights you otherwise wouldn’t have. You never feel guilty after reading a book (and understanding the concepts). They help you make best use your time and help learn plethora of new things along the way.

Many of the world’s most successful people, despite being busy, make (invest) time to read. Many self-made millionaires claim that certain books changed their perspective towards life and stimulated their motivation. After reading a lot of books, you will be amazed at how intelligent you have become, how much knowledge you have gained, and how better you’ve gotten at conversations (esp. the introvert ones out there, like me). Moreover, You can impress girls too. If you read a book and find it interesting or useful, you automatically send a gratitude to its author making his/her efforts worthwhile. Cheers!
