Question

What does the poet mean by making thoughts your aim

Answer 1

Answer:

The second line, “If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,” translates to mean close to the same as the first line – which is to let things happen as they will and not try to overthink anything.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The second line of the second paragraph "if you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim ", means to let things happen as they will and not try to overthink

anything. It doesn't really mean anything as thoughts are never the ultimate aim.

The aim is satisfaction and thoughts are only mental tools working at finding a solution in order to achieve it.
