Why do I feel guilty about thinking?

there is a need to understand what you want to learn is different from what you want to do.

One can do many things without having to learn them deeply or solve their problems these days.

Then the question becomes, does one want to do, or does one want to learn to do. If its the latter, they shouldnt feel guilty about thinking. If its the former, well thinking is really a waste of time. They should start doing.

Realising the difference will make it clear there is a simple choice and one wont feel guilty with either choice because they know why they took it.
