Thoughts

How would you define thoughts?

Thought or thinking is the result of a serious mental process which helps humans to model the world, and tackle with it accordingly to fulfill their goals, plans, ends and desires.

The process of thinking usually includes manipulation of information, and hence we form concepts, indulge into problem solving, reasoning and on the basis of the construed logic, make decisions.

Thinking is considered as a higher cognitive function and the analysis of thinking processes is part of cognitive psychology.

In situations like a "moment of reflection", new situations and new experiences are against recalled ones and judgments.

To make thoughtful judgments, the intellect counts present experience and looks back at past experience to resolve issues.

The mind and intellect cultivate thoughts while keeping present and past experience separate.

The intellect can mix, match, merge, sift, and sort concepts, perceptions, and experience.
This process is called reasoning.

Logic is the science of reasoning.!!
