If you sit quietly and concentrate on just noticing that thoughts arise in your mind, at first it will seem that they just pop up suddenly, out of "thin air". Not only that, but one thought immediately spawns a bunch of other thoughts, until you sort of snap out of it and realize that you've been thinking all sorts of things. With practice, however, you can learn to not get carried away from one thought to another, but just let them go. With more practice, you can experience a state in which thoughts don't arise at all. From that point of view, its easy to see that the thoughts we experience are a result of a misunderstanding about what is important, and more to the point, what is real. So we experience thought as though it was urgent, important, and something we can't ignore, but after practicing, we can see that thoughts are a distraction from true concentration. You have to experience this to understand. Its like explaining the color green to a blind person. We experience thoughts every single moment of every day, but we rarely if ever understand what it means to have a thought in comparison to what it is to comprehend without thinking. Its weird, and until you practice a bit, it sounds like gibberish. But you have to admit that it was a question without a clear target.

Why do you express individual thought?
Individual thought is what preserves culture, civilization and history. Individual thought is followed by action which in turn becomes experience. The experiences of individuals become the experience of that particular society and the experiences of various societies become the experience of that particular time. It is the experiences of various times that we call history. Experiences leave behind them emotions for the human mind to contemplate on. Emotions purges the human mind just as gold is purified in fire. This purifying of human minds in the fire of experiences is what we call by the name of culture. Thus it is easy to see that culture, civilization and history originates from individual thought. What if we do not express our individual thought? Individual thought is a reality which it is essential to be expressed. Collective thought is just a conviction, a following shadow of individual thought. Nature has configurated human mind in such a way that for the sake of society it cannot restrict it's thoughts to itself.
