Unless you have at least one unconventional idea, you are not a real thinker. You are, instead, a conformist in your opinions and ideas.
I like the quote from Benjamin Franklin: “When everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.”

What Are Your Thoughts?
What are your thoughts? Not what are you thinking now, but what are your thoughts literally? I don’t think a thought in the mind is a word or words, although after the fact we can shape them into words to express them, but when you have them, they are these very abstract electrical impulses in the brain, it seems to me. So. in truth, there is an air of mystery about what human thought really is. Not at all clear what a thought produced by a human brain actually is.
Free As A Bird
Where were you before birth?
And after death?
In the same non-existence?
You pass from one into another non-existence.
No choice, pre-planned.
One loses only the present moment in death.
One gains only the present moment in birth.
You are a captive of it,
For there is nothing else –
There is no future
And no past…
Illusions.
Let your mind roam free today.
Let it leap with associations.
Let it inspire with originality.
Let it frolic in the lush pastures of pure thought.
Let it rejoice, complete and entire unto itself.
For we are silly little things,
Trapped by a narrow existence,
Snared by time and space.
Yes, “a little soul carrying a corpse.”
Indeed, Epictetus.
But your mind, that is free —
Free as a bird.
