In a confuscious state of mind

i just finished talking to my friend (yes i have a friend) about some deep philisophical stuff. much stuff no one would get but us cuz of the context in which all was said. but anyway we were talking about a state in which we've decided to call the "Confuscious State of Mind" (named after the philosopher that created the belief of confuscionism (sp?)) anyway we talked of the catalysts that send us to this state. some examples were life changing experiences, some songs, discussions, etc i was wondering what makes you wonder about deep stuff? is it the taking away of something that u want? the gaining of what u want? or just a certain song? so what makes you think about life?
