Our Trees Still Grow In Dehra by Ruskin Bond
This is a book of Experiential Philosophy.
The thesis of this book is based on the recognition that thought is an activity in human beings that
(1) proceeds in a fragmented way and that
(2) basically cannot be halted.
We cannot opt out of thinking. The conclusion is that this accounts for human suffering, lack of direction, and chaos in daily actions and decisions. This leads to the further conclusion that thinking is not something we do, it is something that is being done in us.
