Thinking: It’s the Fastest Killer.

IThinking:It’s the fastest Killer

  It’s amazing what thinking can do to someone. It can solve problems, make plans, make up jokes, but it can also remind you of the past, feed you negative feelings in a whole range of things, making you believe things when the truth is standing right in front of you. That is one thing I have never understood about thinking, how is thinking truly good for you? Sure it can help you make decisions and solve problems and things like that but if you think about it ( oh the irony ) the only time most people ever think in great length is when its something bad and they want to remember things and most of the time when you think in great detail its normally bad. Now this leads me to a point. When you think of negative things and things that have happened in the past and you think and think and think some more about them you can project them into the present. If you don’t believe me try this, think about something bad that happened to you like  I don’t know a bad relationship we have all had them. Okay you thinking about the bad relationship and how crappy it was and how much you didn’t like it and how bad you were treated? Good, now keep doing that for about a week every day. Now imagine you have someone that is the total opposite of that horrible relationship who does everything they can to prove that they are different. Got those to things? Good now if you will notice its really hard for you to not to project the bad negative thoughts that YOU see onto the one that is telling you they are different. It would take something strong and true to endure all of what you project onto them and the ones that are not strong enough it could cause them to leave which in turn would take away something good. All because of thinking, you have lost something that could have been good but because you thought about things and projected what you expect to happen which can cause the negative to happen.

Thinking can also drive you literally insane because thinking of the same thing for days or weeks at a time will eventually lead to so much stress and general mind melting ness that you will want to have a padded room with a warm jacket and the funny medicines. The more thinking on one topic the more it consumes you and becomes a part of you until you don’t know what to do any more. It can cause headaches and a list of other things.

    Excellent post. I totally agree with you. It’s not good to over analyze things. And yes, the example that you used of thinking about something bad or negative that happened to you in the past, if you keep dwelling on that thought then you will project it in the present and it ends up driving you insane. Sometimes it’s just better to bury it and whenever the thought comes up try to think about something else. The mind is very very powerful and we have to be very careful as to what it is that we tell ourselves. Another example is when you are in a relationship and you can’t help but wonder if your partner is cheating on you or not. Your mind starts wandering and then you start thinking and imagining things. Well, you get my point. It’s about training the mind.

    I believe you are right and we should think as little as possible. Negative thoughts makes you distrustful, is depressing and as you say it can drive you insane.We should keep an open and clear mind.
