Collective thinking.

I’ve always felt the need to think deeper, to involve myself in lateral thinking. The effort I put into thoughts doesn’t always seem sufficient, but I always try my best to look into fresh thoughts, of “plugging the loopholes.” But these “open-minded thinking” are only from my perspective. I’ve always failed to place others’ thoughts in high regard nor consideration. It seems that it has always been the case that I’ve already subconsciously made up a decision even before consulting others as to which paths I should take; I’ve already closed myself to a wider range of options.

This thought itself isn’t even an individual thought, I was confronted with truth upon my stubbornness to accept even more viable options of others; I’ve always regarded my opinions to matter most to me. But, I don’t think it is unfounded; I believe that my thoughts are rather concise (yes, although actions may differ), and rather well-thought. But what I’ve failed to realise is the strength of collective thinking is so much stronger than individual thought.

There is no doubt regarding the limitations of one mind itself, as we can only go in circles within our own individual minds. We need to widen that circle. That must involve the minds of others. We need more collective thinking, I need more collective thoughts.
