Thinking
Like most living things on this planet, we have the ability to think. It's something that you simply must do in order to survive. But thinking too much... that can also be deadly.
I think. A lot. More then what's healthy, that I know for sure. I set time aside every day just to ponder something. Actually, I don't. It's something that just inevitably happens... I might as well set the time aside.
What I'm getting at is that when I think, the results are more often than not extremely ambivalent. There are times when I think about something, and it will just make my day. I'll start smiling and going off on overjoyous tangents. Other times, I'll think about something, and I find myself immediately depressed and possibly even on the verge of tears or wanting to smash my head through the wall. I can definitely say that I've experienced both sides of the spectrum.
And I'm not sure if it's really worth it.
But I can't help it. I also daydream, which I consider to be an unconscious form of thinking. You temporarily escape reality and substitute it with your own.
I get so caught up in thought that I rarely catch myself in the thought process.
Perhaps if I thought about catching myself in thought more often it would happen without thinking?
Thinking can be hazardous and detrimental to one's health; however, it can also be uplifting and inspirational. You'll teeter back and forth into both realms of thought. When the seesaw drops into the desolate and dreary realm of thought, push it back up to the limitless sky.
Think about that.
