It is a good thing to think and to have new thoughts. However there are many things in this world that you should not think about too much. Actually thinking about a lot of things in the world, a lot of behaviors of people, a lot of reasoning, beliefs, customs, and anything else, obviously they are going to make sense to people only if you don't think about it too much. And that is more than fine. Its good to think to gain new ideas and insights on life, but if you think too much, you can find holes and flaws with pretty much everything.

You are right. Thinking too much on something can drive you insane. Like if you just kept thinking about how we got here how the world came to be that kind of thinking would drive you insane as my science teacher told us. Because you can come up with a theory and someone will always have something to go against it.

There are going to be many theories in this world for certain. There are going to be many times where we are going to question them a little more than we really need to. That type of thinking, while thinking can be healthy, it can also be something that is going to drive you to the brink of insanity. There are going to be many times where we want to think and that can be a good thing. However too much of a good thing can cause our minds to be twisted for sure and that cannot be the best thing in the world for sure. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I think you're right (and I didn't have to think about it very long, thank goodness!), sometimes we over-analyze things and find flaws just cause we're looking too closely. Maybe we should let go and realize that there's some things that we just can't know everything about? Why is that so hard for some people, I wonder? Maybe I shouldn't think about it too long...

Well if there's anything that we should not really think about too long, its the fact that there are some things that really should not think about. There are many people who have their brains geared in a way I think. They have to unravel every single mystery in life. There is an obsessive need to know everything for sure. They are really unable to let it go for sure. Its sad in many ways but that's just how many are. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I couldn't agree with you more. Too much knowledge can be a very damaging thing at times. New thoughts help us grow as people. Thinking too much can make life overwhelming and complicated. There is some truth in the old saying ignorance is bliss.

Knowledge is something that is great. However, there are times where we go too far with our pursuit of knowledge. Too far in our instances of thinking about things. Therefore there are many parts of life that can be tainted when you think of it. When you try and put some kind of context on life, you really do lose a lot of what makes it really great in many ways. I think that there is a lot about life that is extremely interesting and can be pondered on but a bit too much and you do kind of spoil it in many ways. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Yes dude you are exactly right in your discussion, It is our thoughts that shape our life, We first have a thought then a it converts into an action. Thinking is not bad its bad unless and until you are thinking negative, we should always have new innovative thoughts in our mind that is more beneficial for us rather than thinking of others, Always dont expect anything in your life, because expectation leads to problems if they are not fulfilled so better not to expect anything in our life, God will give it accordingly to us. Thoughts are very provoking in life if not managed properly they can even control you. We should not think unnecessary things for example like worrying and so on, No one knows what will happen to us, we dont have anything in our life, so always rejoice everything that we have and have a positive approach.

Positivity is something that does in fact drive our life a lot of the way. While on the other hand, negative thoughts lead to a lot of bad things in life. And let's face it, negative thoughts are really going to come from overthinking of them. Humans tend to be creatures that look at things, analyze them, attempt to make sense out of them in general. However, there is a lot to be said about not thinking all that much about everything. To attempt to really get a lot out of what really is going to be a pretty good thing to say the very least and life does have many things going for it. We will find a lot of flaws and when we find flaws, that does in fact lead to a lot of negativity. As I have said and this tends to be true, it is better off just to go with it a lot of the time. That way we do not spend all that much time stressing and being negative. Be that as it may, there will be a time and there will be a place, but not all of the time. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Boy did you ever hit the nail on the head here. Thinking about certain issues can drive one crazy. Been there and done that. In fact, think too much is a downfall of mine. I think about things I should just let go but can't for whatever reason. Sometimes it puts me into tears. Best Wishes!

There are many, many times where we are going to really going to want to figure something out. However, there are just some things in life that are never meant to be figured out for sure. There are just a lot of parts of life that are to a level of insanity for sure. I think that there comes a time to think for sure. There are a few things in life that are going to to be worth thought but there are going to be many more things that should be really let go for sure. It can drive you mad. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

think and act what we should do and face no matter what is the consequence. There is an act surely we will get the consequence.

There is really a huge change that we can outsmart ourselves for sure. There are times where slightly less thought can really lessen the blow. However if we put too much thought into it, there will be a lot of consequences to say the very least. There will be some even if we think. There is always a chance. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

You're definitely correct megamatt. We can give everything a place in our thoughts or thinking about them even when we need relax our mind is difficult. Too much of something is not good anymore.

There is really too much of a good thing when you really think about it. There are going to be times where it is a good thing to exercise are mind. A very good thing as it really does turn out a lot of the time. However, as you did in fact say, there is always such a thing as too much of a good thing. And this thing is going to be something that is going to work ourselves into a pretty good tizzy, pretty much something that is going to cause us a lot of problems. Hopefully we know when the right time is to temper a lot of our thinking. There is a time and a place for everything and a time and a place that it is going to be a good thing for sure. However, as I said, we're going to put a lot of holes in a lot of things and strain our thoughts to the point of our sanity slipping. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Some people overthink and over analyze everything. There are so many different ways to look at life, that there is no right or wrong way. So over analyzing and thinking about other peoples lives and reasoning, really isn't worth it. We can get ideas from them but every single person has a different perspective.

That is something that is rather too true in many ways. There is really no right way to look at life. However there is no completely wrong way. There are going to be different backgrounds, different life experiences, and different ways of growing up a lot of the time. However, there are going to be a lot of times in the world where there are going to be things that might not make all that much sense to us but obviously they make sense to someone else. It is just one of those things where you just have had to live the same life that other people do. Hopefully there are going to be a lot of things that will be explained in due time but there is no really use where we work our mind in the tizzy to say the very least. We are going to really be doing a lot of things in life that don't make sense to some as well but they make sense to us. There are going to be many times in life where we just go with it. In those ways, life would be far easier and a lot more simple. We all have a different way of looking at things. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I completely agree,if we take each thing we see or hear and make a thorough and honest analysis we will definitely find many flaws and we will tend to criticize everything,even ourselves,and we'll reach the point when almost nothing will satisfy us,so I consider that we should think and analyze about many things,but sometimes it's better to be a little superficial and try to take some things as they are.

Very true to life. There are going to be many things that are rather worthy of being analyzed for sure. However, there are times where there are going to be a limit to say the very least. We are going to really start finding a lot of things in life, are very flawed. To the point where we start questioning ourselves, as you said. And things can often times get quite ugly from there for sure. We are going to really find ourselves nitpicking and second guessing everything. There are times where you just got to go with it. Other times there might be a time and a place where you might have to stop and think go wait a minute. However its just where you have to go right with the flow and just see where it gets you. No need adding any more stress, and find flaws and holes in everything. There is a lot about life that doesn't make much sense, but to think about that all of the time you potentially drive you mad. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
