The Complicated Simpleness of Thoughts

So, I suppose we can start to get a little personal. Of course, this doesn't mean that I will strip down all my layers and barriers and reveal to the world what I truly think about said subject X, Y, or Z. The truth is that nobody ever really knows what they are thinking about X, Y, or Z. They think that particular thought now and then it erases itself. Just self-destructs within seconds and before we can capture it in coherent words, it's lost.
Does that mean then, that the idea in and of itself is lost in the process of thought? Or does it just mean that the essence of the idea or the original idea is lost? Of course, the rationalist will believe that this is a coherent process to follow to distinguish the pure thoughts from the impure ones. The odd part of it is, it makes me question, do we think impure thoughts, always, or are we struck by the obscurity of our thoughts and seek revision for the better understanding and relating to our thoughts? If it is the latter, why are we so concerned with what other people think of our thoughts? Are we afraid to be alone in our own thought that we want others to approve of it?
Perhaps these seem a little to extreme ways of thinking about the concepts of empathy and sympathy, but I suppose in a way it seems more likely to think that we are scared of being alone in our own thoughts and seek the approval of others.
How would, I, or anybody else then, really strip down the layers that make up me? After a point, we are alone. And, yet we seek solace in the notion that we are not. Be it by the idea that our souls are somehow connected to a higher being that is God and will protect and guide and never let us be alone. Why are we so afraid of being alone? Could it be just the biology that we are built to be social creatures that is making us create these impossible imaginary notions of satisfaction and solace in arbitrary thoughts of comfort, or are we truly that complicated?
Somehow, I like the former opinion that we really are just social creatures. Perhaps the thing about complex thoughts is that we only think them when we have nothing better to think of, or nothing better to occupy our time and our minds with. Have you ever noticed how all 'great thinkers' seem to be pretty well off or living on meager wages that they want to change their desperate situation? But, I guess that covers the sum total of the human population. Polar extremes, those examples, but of course we all fall somewhere on that scale.

That's all for now.
