We think because we exist, and if we didn't exist we couldn't think.

Everything in our brains is made up of things around us, things we learn, our ideas, our thoughts, and our memories, all of it has been formed because of our environment, not because it was just there, there are some things that come naturally or things that we cannot change based on other parts of our brain. I’d like to think there's some control that comes with having a brain but in reality, there really isn't. We don't get to choose the thoughts we have and we don't get to choose how those thoughts come about, they just do, our brains are constantly forming thoughts based on things around us, things we have already thought about at a different time, thoughts that were created in the past because of something else. All of our thoughts form based on our environment, we think because we exist, and if we didn't exist we couldn't think. We think and we think and we think, we cannot stop thinking, we are always thinking. We can control what we do with those thoughts, we can control whether or not we choose to act on something, sometimes those choices are hard to do or not to do. We struggle with choosing what's right and what’s wrong, we struggle to carry things out or to completely think it through before we make a choice. Sometimes thoughts are so strong that we have little control in choosing what to do with them, we may choose to do something before thinking too hard about whatever it is, we are always using our brains, and they are constantly going. How do we even store anything up there, with everything that is up there, you’d think there'd be a way to organize the thoughts, to put them in some type of order, but I've found, that there isn't a way to do so. We think and we think and we think, we cannot stop, we cannot organize it, we cannot choose it, we just do. We are thinkers, no matter who we are, we are all thinkers. We all have thoughts about everything, we have assumptions and beliefs, and opinions. We are consumed by thoughts, constantly, consistently, and always. And there's nothing we can do to stop it.
