Rumination vs Examination
Here we can think of the mind as a powerful problem-solving device. We can take it out of the toolbox, use it, and then put it back. Most people are like plumbers who carry around that large wrench all of the time, even when they are not on the job. This is to say the tool of the plumber is a large pipe wrench, the tool of the mind is reason. If we let our wrench or mind be carried around with us at all times, it will easily get out of control. “The mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.” - Robin Sharma
