As babies we are in the now. The inner monologue is a kind of baggage accrued from The World
That thought came to my mind about pants but I then wondered if that's forsaking pants altogether... I guess it works for the ones who think we live in a prison too lol.
I have a few memories of the earliest days, there's a sort of narrative but it's hazy to remember. Looking back I always thought I 'became' conscious around the age of 4 when the family moved as everything before had less of a taste of free will. As if their was always a sort of monologue but it just lacked a vocabulary before that, I've been feebly defining everything since.
I tend to agree about the baggage, which is why I wonder if this way of thinking is potentially an affliction. There's definitely a link between pressure and thinking.
There's advancement with thinking but there's contentment in silence. I find it ironic.
