i can totally relate to your thread, byz. often times i ruminate, ruminate on things that bother me. it is a fruitless endeavor. only enhances my worry, etc. the rumination can set off a depression that encompasses my thoughts and even my body.
on the other hand using rational introspection can enable me to see the folly of my ruminating. i have to use rational thoughts to enable me to solve my delimma.
a balance is the solution. for me, often times the rumination overpowers my rational thoughts.
excellent thread.
