I wish I had thoughts

CaptainWacky

I want to smell dark matter
So I could express them
 
That was a thought, and you just expressed it.
 
I think I'm expressing a thought right now...
 
You are.
 
Your thoughts are so profound, that it takes me days to work myself up to even open up a thread started by you.
 
brain and brain. what is brain.
 
Don't worry Wacky, thoughts are overrrated. Now, actions without thought are much more entertaining.
 
CaptainWacky said:
brain and brain. what is brain.

The brain pan is where the thinking happens.
 
or does it happen in the SOU!L?
 
Thoughts should never be thunk upon. Misery & regret is all life has to offer.
 
I disagree. Its all about the love baby!
 
All you need is love,

But all you WANT is sex!
 
what's the soul then?
 
Don't pantheists believe in the soul?

[Middle English, from Old English sāwol.]

soul (1)

O.E. sawol "spiritual and emotional part of a person, animate existence," from P.Gmc. *saiwalo (cf. O.S. seola, O.N. sala, O.Fris. sele, M.Du. siele, Du. ziel, O.H.G. seula, Ger. Seele, Goth. saiwala), of uncertain origin. Sometimes said to mean originally "coming from or belonging to the sea," because that was supposed to be the stopping place of the soul before birth or after death. Hence, from P.Gmc. *saiwaz (see sea). Meaning "spirit of a deceased person" is attested in O.E. from 971. As a synonym for "person, individual" (e.g. every living soul) it dates from c.1320. Soulmate (1822) is first attested in Coleridge. Soul-searching (n.) is attested from 1948, from the phrase used as a pp. adj. (1612).

soul (2)

"instinctive quality felt by black persons as an attribute," 1946, jazz slang, from soul (1). Soulful "full of feeling" is attested from 1863. Hence Soul music, essentially gospel music with "girl" in place of "Jesus," etc., first attested 1961; William James used the term in 1900, in a spiritual/romantic sense, but in ref. to inner music. Also from this sense are soul brother (1957), soul food (1957), etc.
