To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.

To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.

Summary

This quote suggests that the act of reflection disrupts or unsettles one's thoughts. When we engage in reflection, we consciously analyze and evaluate our experiences, emotions, or actions. Consequently, this process can challenge our established beliefs, preconceived notions, or comforting patterns of thinking. Reflection forces us to confront our inner selves and consider alternative perspectives, stimulating mental discomfort or agitation. However, this disruption can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around us. In essence, the quote emphasizes that reflection is not a passive act but an active disturbance to our thought processes.
