“Nonsense” sometimes makes sense

Cat, not ruminating nor looking into the mirror

No doubt if you  have read my blog for a little while you may notice I sometimes write nonsensical posts sometimes based on altering olf  cliches or proverbs.Maybe I should not make them public…. but I have noticed quite often the nonsense makes sense

We females were often told not to keep looking into the mirror as vanity was a sin [ long ago!]When I was writing  a bit of nonsense today I wrote

Don’t keep looking into the horror [ instead of mirror].

[ instead of mirror].

Actually, that is good.We need sometimes to look at how bad things may be but not to do it all the time.It’s a bit like the difference between thinking and ruminating.Ruminating is when we are stuck in a groove and can’t take our minds off a certain painful topic.We may believe thinking  more will help but  now some doctors believe that much depression and anxiety comes from ruminating.Better to go for a walk and let the answer come to you by itself.Because our unconscious mind may be better at that.Or if you believe in God, leave it to God.This is the problem.We’d like to trust in God but we are insecure.And after all, the Jews  may have trusted in God, so might the  people who were massacred in Armenia or Cambodia.Maybe my scope is too broad there.At an individual level rumination or mirror gazing  is bad for us.

There is a good deal there to muse about .
