A Facebook dialogue:
Shian: Struck me that the Facebook live feed question is a good one – ‘What’s on your mind?’ Here’s a tweaked version – ‘What should be on your mind?’
Grace: Read this – it’s interesting, nothing new actually –

Wee Pheng: Indeed, when we are not truly mindful and fully aware of ‘what’s on our mind’, this deters ‘what should be on our mind’
CS: I prefer not to think. Less grey hair and falling hair.
Z: 阿弥陀佛!
Shian: Yes Grace, true! ‘A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind’. Yes Wee Pheng, true! I’ll blog about this at moonpointer.com too! Yes CS, thinking is often done in excess, but when we should think, we …should… I think! Yes Z, best to be mindful of Amituofo instead of random stray thoughts! [By the way, you can’t post ‘What’s on your mind?’ in the live feed!]
