The Positive Effects Of Meditative Thinkers Shaping Society

Meditative Thinkers Shaping Society In this paper, I will be talking about the positive effects that meditative thinking can have on the human species. In the book “Discourse on Thinking” it states that, “Meditative thinking demands of us not to cling one-sidedly to a single idea, nor to run down a one-track course of ideas.
