Profound?
I just had a thought. And I'm here to figure it out with you. Yup.
I wanted to say something profound. Like, amazingly, world-changingly profound. But then...you can't plan those things. You can't go and have a thought like that. They have to just happen. That's the way it is. You have to be thinking to have such thoughts of course, because when you think, thoughts are had, and if you aren't then there are no thoughts, thus none can be profound.
But then...where is the line between profoundness and confusion? Be right back...
Profound:
1.penetrating or entering deeply into subjects of thought or knowledge; having deep insight or understanding: a profound thinker.
2.originating in or penetrating to the depths of one's being; profound grief.
3.being or going far beneath what is superficial, external, or obvious: profound insight.
4.of deep meaning; of great and broadly inclusive significance: a profound book.
5.pervasive or intense; thorough; complete: a profound silence.
6.extending, situated, or originating far down, or far beneath the surface: the profound depths of the ocean.
7.low: a profound bow.

Hey,
As someone who has had a few profound moments and at least as many confused moments i would have to say there is some correlation. Its kind of like genious and insanity i think. Just part of the package i guess. Sometimes if you want to be profound your going to be confused.

Yes profound just happens sometimes, where as confusion can happen more than we'd like!
There, those are my thoughts. Not really profound at all, but maybe more confusing???
Yes, however, depending on intelligence often times profoudness can cause confusion.
I'd say there's a direct ratio of profoundness and confusion in every thought. But not being a math-y minded person I can't figure that out. So I leave that though there... (Though wouldn't it be cool to figure the ratio out?!)
I find that often times, it is out of something confusing that someone says something that brings clarity, and is labelled profound.
And then there are the people who go around acting confused... but if you stop to listen to them, everything they say has a deeper double meaning.
Am I right or am I right?
what if your wrong? haha. :P
