Consumption and Understanding Ourselves

Sometimes the very idea of thinking about ourselves is a mess. Self-understanding is a virtue that needs quite an observation to achieve. Especially in a world where we constantly consume things, we barely have time to think about ourselves in a deeper manner. Mostly just short thoughts after our absorption of new ideas. In some sense, we are derived by the ideas we consume, but it is undeniable that we have biases that have developed in the long period of our minds' existence. And it is a mistake in my opinion to consume such a variety of things in a radical and pragmatic way. Man needs to understand the meaning of such when he lets it inside from his sieve to prevent a stuffed mind and heart. That mind and heart are a mess when we try to understand ourselves and express ourselves accordingly. When it is asked, by ourselves or others, who we are, what are our boundaries and what we want and like. Finding the answers to such questions certainly becomes hard, maybe not even exist. Because our own formed ideas are likely far behind our dumped ideas in terms of quality, so we do not see them suitable for current. So it is crucial to have a flow for our mind, consumption should not be the dominant event only part that occurs. It should follow, comparing, associating, contradicting, and integrating them with existing and at the end creating a similar but our idea. An idea that, when we take time to just think in our mind, we can correlate with others, we can develop new ideas on top of that is indeed ours. And such thinking gives us ideas that express us, define us. It is only possible with them to understand ourselves.
