Wonders of Human Mind

I’m often amazed by human mind - how it works and all its capacity. It’s just ashamed that we don‘t really exploit it much. I don’t either. According to 10% myth, most people only use 10% of their brain to coordinate mental actions. There is a mental laziness like “I don’t want to think about this”; “uh this problem is too hard to solve”. Intuitively, we know that sometimes things don’t make sense but give up easily before we reach to the point that it makes sense.
But sometimes, there are a lot of separate matters going in your mind all at once:

• trying to understand and make sense of things around you
• trying to make choices and decisions
• making judgments of what is right and what is wrong
• analyzing if you are still useful and important
• Imagining about near and far future about things you want/accomplish/need
• Reflecting about the past- moments of happiness, pain and endeavors, failures and achievements
  

Isn’t it so amazing? I guess what kind of other living things can have that much mental capacity? But the most amazing thing of all this is a strong will to survive.
Why do we want to live so much? Because we have experienced happiness and joy? But we have experienced pain and sufferings as well? There are people in other parts of the world who live under all kinds of adversities and tragedies but they still want to live. Are human being so optimistic and think that they can get better by living? Or do they still have joy we can’t see? or is a will to survive just a natural instinct?

I’m not making sense right? Well I won’t even try to make sense and will just let my mind go wild with all the thoughts.
