How to Think, When You Don’t Know What to Think: A Meditation We live in turbulent times. A life-threatening virus, a contentious election, and civil tension, in general, have made 2020 a challenging year and 2021 may be as challenging. We have so many thoughts to think and opinions to make. It is increasingly difficult to make decisions and opinions without dividing from family and friends. How do we think when we don’t know what to think? Imagine you are watching a game where the Red Socks are playing the Blue Birds. You are not a big fan of either team, but when watching a game, it’s fun to choose a favorite. You are not from the home town of either team. Your mom was a fan of the Midways, a rival of the Red Socks. The Red Socks win all the time, so you root for the Blue Birds. You are joined in watching the game by another person. She’s a big fan of the Red Socks. She is saying bad things about the Blue Birds. You are dumb to root for the Blue Birds
