CONSTANT THINKING COMES AT A COST - JUST A THOUGHT

It snatches the peaceful moments — but what follows is Eureka.

I was trained not to accept anything at face value.

During my education, especially during my doctorate, I was taught to go deep — to question, dissect, and stay uncomfortable until the truth revealed itself. Thinking became not just a task, but a temperament. A way of living.

Eventually, it became a condition.

Twenty-four hours a day, my mind learned to process. Observe. Predict. Doubt. And reassemble. It gave me sharpness. Precision. An uncanny ability to see past surface arguments.

But it came at a cost.

It snatched the peaceful moments. It made silence feel unproductive. It turned pauses into puzzles. While others were unwinding, I was rewinding and fast-forwarding life’s patterns in my head. It kept me focused on a particular thread of inquiry, sometimes so intensely, that I became oblivious to the world outside it. In those moments, I wasn’t always in sync with everyday realities — and that disconnection had its price.

Still, I have no regrets. Because that restlessness, more often than not, leads to something extraordinary — a moment of Eureka. A flash of clarity that makes the discomfort worthwhile. That births ideas, frameworks, even movements.

This restless engine — sometimes exhausting, sometimes exhilarating — is not a flaw. It's a feature.

And if my words seem sharp, disruptive, or too direct… it’s not rebellion. It’s just how my mind was trained to think.

Welcome to "JUST A THOUGHT".

A series born not out of comfort, but of constant cognition.
