So two of my roommates and myself got into a fairly heated discussion the other night centered around the topic, is thinking for the sake of thinking a waste of time?
My girlfriend (one of my roommates) and I sided that thinking can be, and often times is, its own end. My other roommate however, became very frustrated with us. His argument was that dwelling on thinking is a waste of time and that if it bore no fruit, there's no point. My rebuttal was that thinking of something for so long would eventually yield new thoughts, which would be the fruit of labor.
We discussed this some more and everything boiled it down to the point that my girlfriend and myself enjoy the journey, not the destination, and the other roommate the converse of that. My girlfriend and I enjoy experiences, the other roommate enjoys results.
So, fellow Hubskiers, is thinking for the sake of thinking worth thinking about?
