But still, why?
As in why do I write?
Just because I believe that most of the time the reason we are not happy is that we get caught up in unhealthy thinking. And this unhealthy thinking happens because we focus so much on the immediate inconveniences that we forget some good thinking rules that we found in more happier times.
And I feel that if I just write them down this thinking patterns may just become habits so that I remember to use them when I need them the most.
So basically I write so that I don't forget what I think them to be general patterns of good thinking.
Because they usually don't teach you in school (enough about) this kind of things, more precisely how to think. I guess it is implied that since you are thinking all day long then obviously you know how to do it. But actually it doesn't mean that you are doing it right! And it may not be obvious how to correct your way of thinking until you somehow find out from someone wiser.
As an example when confronting with a major dilemma we may not sleep much, not thinking much about anything else anymore etc. Like putting all our psychological resources in the service of solving the issue will increase our chances to solving it. But this only works up to a point. If we don't sleep enough we may prevent our mind of doing much thinking (or thinking straight).
So in order to be able to think the most and the best about a solution to some problem you must keep in mind of how the mind works, the fact that a lot of essential phases of brain activity happen during quality sleep.
These thinking patterns are a way of learning from the wisdom of others.
And they can help us talk about it.
So here we go ...
For example the Goldilock's principle covers all kind of situations when some conditions don't need to be at the neither of two extremes but somewhere in a zone around the middle.
A recent illustration of the pattern is here.
The best known one is the Goldilock's zone which is a zone around the star where the temperature is not too hot, not too cold for liquid water to be able to exist.
