Most of us agree that a person is responsible for his actions and words. But do we have control over our thoughts? Learn to choose your thoughts like you choose a tomato.

Isn't it interesting that think itself contains the word INK. I think about this when I pass an overpass on the highway where someone keeps writing, to refresh this, the words in big white letters: THINK.
It could be that well also refers to the deep well of knowledge, the well spring, beneath the earth we all draw from, in terms of insights, and to think well, also refers of course to positivity.
There are deep truths about our universe that come from the words themselves, and this is pure Kabbalah. I just finished Pete Hamill's most beautiful book about the power of love, a healing story about a young Irish boy who meets a rabbi, and what ensues. It's beautiful and this book has everything to do with the power of the Hebrew letters and the power of using personal angst towards ethical consciousness of doing "good".

Thank you- I was so like you when I was younger. It is a good idea to get back on track after having heard your inspiration.
Not that ostrich-like posturing is always the right thing to do, though!
Now to weigh the responsibility of our developed consciousness of others needs and woes against our responsibility toward our own mental health, or, do people who have immense burdens still have a happy place to hide in?

Of course you are right. A while ago in my field of psychiatric social work people recognized the value of just this, a field, called Cognitive Restructuring, exactly what you're saying about how we can work with our negative thoughts and change them into positives, in essence, restructure these thoughts, turn them around. And it does work. Sometimes it is difficult to do this, as life brings us all down. But I have seen remarkable changes in people who do this, and who make this a way of thinking, always striving to find the rainbow hidden within the darkening clouds. There is a silver lining to everything and we can seek this, also by turning over our thoughts.
We all experience the "stream" of consciousness, and we can all, turn our backs on the bad thoughts that come our way, and are really too extreme, ex stream.
The wrap can be beautiful, as the inner "rap" and you can turn that cloud into a ray of inner and outer sunshine. Practice makes "perfect".
