When the mind is thinking it is talking to itself.

Summary

This quote suggests that thinking is a form of internal dialogue that happens within our own minds. The process of thinking involves silent conversations, where we engage in a continuous exchange of ideas, reflections, and judgments with ourselves. It recognizes that our thoughts often manifest as a conversation, even though there might not be any external interaction or verbalization involved. By understanding thinking as an internal dialogue, it highlights the importance of becoming aware of our thoughts and monitoring the quality and nature of this ongoing conversation we have with ourselves.
