Human beings are not light bulbs … … they cannot simply be switched on and off.
What do you think?

It depends on your metaphor on “switched on and off” right? Could you elaborate? For example do you mean switch on (off) = coming into (going out of) existence, or switch on (off) = having (not having) stray thoughts, or switch on (off) = become (not become) motivated?
In this metaphor, I was referring mostly to them being motivated or not. 🙂
But yes, their momentary arising and falling is like the light bulb, likewise for the stray thoughts. Some would say they are more like fluorescent tubes, flickering on and off! 🙂
