My mind is like someone else and not attached as a part of me. I can't control it. It speaks for itself. It thinks and stops whenever it wants, and doesn't really care about what I want to say. It does things by its own rules and sometimes it troubles me. But thank God, it never betrays me.
When I'm working, it can suddenly think of something else and make me stray away from what I'm supposed to do. When I don't want to work, it gives ideas and makes me want to stay and keep doing what I'm supposed to do. When I'm watching a movie, it reminds me of another movie. It jolts my brain into thinking and imagining things while my eyes are still on the screen. When I'm reading or listening, it pulls me into a world where reality doesn't exist and the ending of it is determined by however I want it to be.
When I see a very tall building, my mind speaks, "If you were falling from the top of that building, you could actually finish singing a song before you hit the ground."
When I see an intelligent-looking person, my mind says, "Light is faster than sound. So sometimes people look intelligent until you hear them speak."
When somebody is giving me an advice, my mind whispers, "Hey, look at that cat lying on the floor. I think it just farted!"
When a friend of mine is sharing a problem and wants me to listen, my mind suggests, "Tell him that you're a superhero and can solve everything!"
When I sit silently on the train every morning, my mind asks, "Look at those people. Can you think of something to write about later on?"
When my eyes want to sleep during the night, my mind wakes me up and thinks, "Your life would be fun if you speak like this, do like that and blah blah blah."
When my mom needs my help doing the house chores, my mind persuades, "Every mom wants the best for her children, therefore if you say you're busy doing your work, she will not complain. Heheh. "
And when I feel like taking drugs, smoking or drinking, my mind threatens, "You do that, and you're going to lose me."
I love my mind. However good or bad my mind is, it leads me to where I belong. To where I am now. So that's why I made a promise that no matter what happens, I will never do something that makes me lose my mind. So should you.

haha you're *quoting* someone. ive read this before. lol.
no worries tho, i dont look a tad intelligent... and usually people suffer a temporal lag in synchronizing the first impression they get of me, with the one made 3 minutes later.
unknown: yeah, i quoted it from a book or somebody, i dont remember the exact source. but that sentense really 'haunts' me, dude. i keep thinking about it. hehehe.
slm,
Really,really useful.. Actually it is inside each of us all the time, it's just that we might overlook it and neglect the thoughts. It's like you have a buddy inside you who will always be with you wherever you go,someone dear whom you have to take care of, but it is actually your own self,and for a reason,conscience is one of Allah's greatest gift...
phyto hystrix: spot on! :)
