Your thoughts are not YOUR thoughts

It was suggested in class that we take some time to look at our thoughts.

Some of my thoughts are “my” thoughts. They are from “my” life. They are “my” memories. But then there are thoughts that are “others” thoughts. Do you ever have a song stuck in your head? Is that song a thought? I would say it is. If we are thinking about it, it is a thought. What about the magazine article that you just read? Or that movie you just watched? We also get imprinted with the thoughts of our family. All of these outside influences become a part of our stream of thought. I would say that these are society’s thoughts.

I believe that we think our own thoughts but we also think the thoughts of others. That is one of the main reasons I rarely watch TV, especially the news. If you listen to something over and over again, it starts to become a part of your thought process. And then you identify with that thought so much, you start to think it is your own thought.

I think the different typefaces in Vas represent these various thoughts, the thoughts from Square and also from his society.
