What constitutes thinking

Abstract

In my opinion, OBSCURE to OBVIOUS and OBVIOUS to OBSCURE constitute thinking. Knowledge is synthesized and results as an outcome when transformation between OBSCURE and OBVIOUS occurs. Until the knowledge is complete, what is obvious at one point is obscure at another point and vice versa. Sometimes by sharing, sometimes by introspection, sometimes by application and sometimes by interrogating or by some other strategy, we understand the completeness of OBVIOUS or the KNOWN as such strategy exposes the UNKNOWN hidden in the KNOWN. This makes us to iterate this travel between OBSCURE and OBVIOUS with new pieces of information or interpretation or inventions or facts again and again. It is nothing but rediscovering or reinventing or reinterpreting or reengineering or relearning of the KNOWN again and again to ascertain its completeness. Surfacing of ‘UNKNOWN’ hidden in ‘KNOWN’ happens by virtue of something or other until the knowledge is complete. The KNOWN will become ABSOLUTE when there is nothing unknown remains and it stands all validations, questions and explains everything. So, Human thinking, in other words the process of knowing the UNKNOWN or realizing the KNOWN is a journey from obscure to obvious or from obvious to obscure. Deeds form a part of this journey.
