If I am not mistaken, that was a song from one of our local play. (Should be Jack and the Beansprout?).
Anyway, the key point is, we are so caught up in our lives, with numerous thoughts running through each and every moment, that we tend to miss out on alot.
Thoughts can be seen as form. A form that we mistakenly attach some attributes to, some essence that is not in "existence". When that thought has passed, what else is left of it?
We make ourselves busy by chasing after those thoughts. Those thoughts that have no essence, no substance, no value. But we think that our thoughts matters.
In some sense, nirvana is the extinction of ideas/thoughts. Without our random thoughts, it might be easier to live in the present, to be here moment by moment. To find joy in each single moment. We reduce the busy-ness of our lives and gain more joy in return. Isn't that a win-win?
When you reduce your thoughts, you might feel lighter and more open. And than you can be happier.
