A burial for thoughts

It is most unfortunate that human's can think. What is worse is confusing thoughts with feelings/ emotions. I feel sad & hence think this world is not a good place to live. Or I feel ecstatic & think everything can be achieved.

We as kids had our own methods of safekeeping our thimbles. Hiding it within the recesses of closets or study cupboard. The luckier ones had gardens - you dig, hide your precious & smoothen the mud.

Is there a way to dig up such a hole & bury our thoughts? Where we know our thoughts are safe - nobody to judge or question? A thought-safe that will let us store things & never allow thieves to retrieve them. Just vent & close.

How would an advt. for this safe look? "Ladies & Gentlemen.... presenting to you the Thought-safe. It is ego-proof!! You can say whatever you like & your ego wont be hurt. So if you want to tell your best friend that you still remember her birthday & wanted to wish her, go ahead! Doesn't matter that you had the most terrifying fight with her that resulted in severing all relations."

Or the promotion pamphlets could talk about how judgement-free this safe is. "Speak the unspeakable... utter the most ghastly, violent, embarrassing, cheap, sadist of thoughts. Here is one safe that shall just take in everything and never pronounce a verdict."

"A multi-purpose safe that doubles up as a confession box as well!! come one...come all" How amazing it would feel if on the date of your marriage, you were to just pull-open the safe & whisper into its nothingness - "Dear safe, I did not imagine my fiance turning into an odious jerk. I am horrified by the mere thought of marrying him. All I want to do is run away...far away from this madness & complication that I created for myself". Then you just close the lid, adjust your veil & confidently walk down the aisle as though nothing happened.

This safe will take all your thoughts, gobble them up & make space for new ones. Irretrievable. Lost forever.

Just thinking about this safe is inducing a golden yellow calmness in me... aah! peace :P

This idea actually seems to be good! We can convert it into a business model and can even get paid to absorb people's negative or positive emotions. Guess this is pretty close to a Shrink's job!
