Why do we "have" thoughts?

Do we own experience, knowledge, creativity and power too? And if so, how? For they are all abstractions of language; they are all judgements and comments that we give to pieces of art and wisdom. They are labels that we can give to the physical, and like a family tree, we can then lend to the person.

But to "have" a thought? Is that the same as to own a personality? Quite the contrary, it can't be connected to it at all. Whilst a personality can be shown in action, a thought cannot. A thought is the opposition of an action. It is inactivity entirely.

Thus: To have a thought? Nay. There is something that has to be changed in the verb.
