Philosophers Vs Thinkers Poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

Philosophers Vs Thinkers

Rating: 5.0


All philosophers are thinkers
but all thinkers are not philosophers.

When one watches a bird flying high in the sky,
one can imagine oneself to be free like it-
this is philosophy.
When one imagines to fly like it-
one becomes a thinker only.

Let the bird be wisdom!
A philosopher will fight hard to break
all the chains of darkness,
while a thinker will think oneself wise only.

All philosophers are thinkers but all thinkers are not philosophers. As both Poets Yoonoos and Kostas have pointed out, it is a subject of endless debate and discussion. It's a brilliant poem of deep reflection, Sankhajit. Thank you for sharing your thoughts........10
