But what's the thought? Thee are two many assumptions you are already expecting me to make. First, I must decide if it's a "new thought". Then I must decide its meaning.(Presuming it has a meaning). And whether I am intelligent or not, is going to be decided on the criterion you suggest, i. e. I must entertain it without accepting it. All very confusing. What I understand is that I must examine it thoroughly before accepting or rejecting it. Entertaining a new thought in that state of suspension is a lesson in practicing tolerance also.Your question combines several factors, ability to distinguish, ability to reflect, ability to know my mind, ability to be open to new ideas. The question is framed so thoughtfully!
