Perceptions and analysis

In thinking about perception of reality...
My mind is the lens through which I perceive the world.
If my perception is wrong my mind will be improperly stimulated.

In thinking about analyzing myself...
Constant questioning about my thoughts and analyzing my mind leads to
identity issues, leads to self-conciousness, leads to low self-esteem,
leads to suppressed and avoided emotions, leads to behavior problems,
leads to poor life management.

Or as the buddhists put it: "If you only think, you end up thinking only
about thoughts." That leads to ingrown and convoluted mental processes. Our
minds need nourishing with physically-based experience. But experience is a
funny thing, because it's subjective. It's not what happens to your body
that constitutes experience but what happens inside you as a result of it.
