Hey thoughtfulman...I'm only 20 (just a year older than you therefore)...
And I have constant bugging, interesting or just plain annoying/meaningless thoughts all the time...
I have very amateur-philosophical thoughts....
I'm like aware of my thoughts all the time practically....
A lot more than most people I wager....its grown more and more over the years...when I was a kid I wasn't really aware of my head so much.....
I know that there are indeed many people who go throughout there day without even realizing that they are the ones worrying...they just worry...they don't notice all the thoughts going off in their head all the time...because they're too busy thinking them and relating them to the world...
I think about thinking all the time...and I have more so through the last few years....
I get single word loops throughout the day.....
Same thought over and over again....hard to make it go away....
I can change the thought but only to like another thought.... I like it when I forget I'm thinking temporarily but at the same time I LIKE being aware and I LIKE thinking about thinking...however annoying ti can so often be.
EvF
P.S: And yes I think Atheism can be life-affirming like Dawkins says....
Having one life makes all the more special....living my life without some retarded super-bloke in the sky makes me feel better actually....I like reality....
Delusion can be comforting in the short-run but in the long-run it can be potentially not so good!!!
And I care about the truth. More than anything probably....
After all love is ultimately no good if its not true....and fake love that stabs you in the back afterwards could at times be perhaps even worse than full on hate! At least then you know what you are dealing with.
So truth is either on even footing with love for me...or just behind....or above in fact. Love is no good if its not really love - similar to as I said just above - delusion can be comforting but that's about it at its best. And its often more a short-run thing than a long-run thing when it potentially starts to really fuck up your life by then.
