Thinking.... its an act we all do every day.... some more then others, some less... some to a degree that is more developed then their peers around them. Thinking is one of the acts that we sometimes take for granted like breathing. Sometime we forget what it is that we're really doing. We can get lost in the melancholy of our actions. We forget what we take in. The human mind is an extraordinary thing. it takes in nearly limitless amounts of information and compresses it so our frail psyches can take it in, and so we're not gibbering masses of flesh that can't move because we have to thing about all the little things we do, like breath, pump our hearts, monitor our nerves and much more. Our medulla oblongata (I might have spelled that wrong...) lets us ignore most of the things that we need to do to live, making most of the things we do into repeatable patterns that we're not usually aware of. That combined with the human autonomic system (the nerves and immune system and such) allow us to react to things that we ordianarilly be able to percieve let alone react too.

But unfortunately we sometimes forget to think about the things that we really should.... We ignore the sensations, emotions that shouldn't be forgoten.... lots of little things that shouldn't be ignored...

Remember.

Remember what we can....
