Very true. The Stoics would agree. I need to see if I can find a comment from Aurelius like that.

Great, now I'm paranoid about my enemies AND my own thoughts.

How do you guard your thoughts? (That's a question for AFTER you're done writing. ;-D )

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

I don't guard them. I notice them, and try to keep the sanest ones.
