    60,000?

    If I'm awake for 16 hours. 16 hours is 960 minutes is 57,600 seconds. That is one thought per second.

    really?

    Consider it an average between those of us who practice stillness and someone addicted to facebook and internet porn...

    If this is an average then I cannot imagine how many thoughts does one in far extreme of us have?

    That's gotta be the reason why I felt drained around them :D

    The far extreme is very draining...and unfortunately, very delusional by most standards.

    (Oh, Rizal...I have had trouble commenting on your blog lately...for some reason my computer hasn't been cooperating...but I'm reading)
