Scary Stories (To Be Told At Night)

What We Only Think.

Isn't it funny? How we are prone to overthink things? How we are told not to think, because it could lead to unspeakable things?

We're told not to think, but to just do.

And, quite frankly, that's pretty good thinking.

We shouldn't think so much. We should just do things and hope for the best.

But we only think that.

We seem to think a lot of things, you know. Like how the world is at peace. Like how humans are the only things that exist on the planet, aside from animals and plants. Like how we've convinced everyone that almost everything is in your mind.

However, what they don't realise, is that the best thing to do, is in fact think. You need to think to survive. Because if you didn't think, how could you know what is good and bad for you? Without thinking a lot of things could go wrong; wars; murders; robberies; the lot.

And also, without thinking, you can't decipher whether there's something behind you or not. You can't think of what could've tapped you on the shoulder. You can't think of your worst nightmares.

This, of course, is very confusing – but it's what most of us think.
