One's
Own Way of Thinking
One
needs years of very attentive, very careful, very
reasonable, very coherent work, organisation, selection,
construction, in order to succeed simply in forming,
oh, simply this little thing, *one's own way of thinking!
One
believes he has his own way of thinking. Not at all.
It depends totally upon the people one speaks with
or the books he has read or on the mood he is in.
It depends also on whether you have a good or bad
digestion, it depends on whether you are shut up in
a room without proper ventilation or whether you are
in the open air; it depends whether there is sunshine
or rain! You are not aware of it, but you think all
kinds of things, completely different according to
a heap of things which have nothing to do with you!
And
for this to become coordinated, coherent, logical
thought, a long thorough work is necessary.
