Thoughts.

It's quite rare that an author captures a thought so perfectly that you know you've thought it before, but he's gone and said it! and well, thats what makes good authors. I've been reading this RD collection of Gothic Short Stories (very tempted to footnote!) where Charles Dickens' observation of a madman seems so appropriate and all in all, written for me! very disturbing.

If one of your thoughts were to escape your head and announce itself to the world, how amusing would it be? Random folks walking down random streets with sudden announcements of the oddest kind! I think the world would be a wonderful, albeit more predictable, place to live in. Although ofcourse, libraries might not remain as deathly quiet as they are. And more than one instance of assault would take place at the ‘leak’ of an oddly lecherous thought-by men and women, alike.

Do thoughts feel like they’re caged in our heads? Wanting to burst free every second and wondering why this fool wouldn jus set it free with the utterance of those noises she keeps making all the time while never speaking of anything relelvant or thought provoking.

Do thoughts feel provoked by other thoughts? Do they have violent instincts? Do they feel so mortally aggrieved (are they mortal?) by the existence of another thought that they wish to thunder out in the most insolent manner? Or is that jus us fools?
