"yes, you."
There are these days that we all sit and think and dwell on things of past. If you are anything like myself you will realize that this really does us only the comfort of the present thinking moment. There are no long term benefits to dwelling on the past other than learning from mistakes. But it has seemed to me recently that you may not be able to learn from these "mistakes" that one may or may not have made.
My logic in a nutshell with this is fairly simple (as are most of the things that I happen to write about). How can one sit and dwell on what he or she has done wrong, if there was nothing done wrong in the first place? (That even sounds odd in my head, I cant imagine what it looks like to whomever may be reading this...) If you think about something that went wrong in the past, easiest generally being a relationship gone astray. You may come to the conclusion after way too much thought that you had totally treated this person in question wrongly, or with out care. But what if in your head you are actually creating a false answer to a situation that need not be addressed just for the sole reason that you tried to wrap logic around something that you don't have all the information from both parties involved, just your own side.
(i.e. your not thinking about these things with the person you were in the relationship with next to you telling your logic on these issues was false or accurate).
I has seemed to me recently that the gears in my own head will never stop turning when concentrating on things of no importance in the past. This is really an over written entry that could have been shortly summed up by saying "for your own sake, stop over thinking everything."
