Dismissing Unwanted Thought: use logic

[Seek Light]

Jogging along the great lake jetty I noticed the dying minnows/small fish swimming in circles, flickering silver in the sun. They kept "calling" for my attention and the odd thought came that I am like those fish, wounded, moving "in circles." This was not a natural thought for an upbeat person! Then, I realized that the only way the comparison could be made accurately was if there was a small group of plump, protected fish plotting beneath the waves to select which other fish would prosper or be harmed/destroyed. It would be the unnatural selection that some humans do versus the natural rhythms of nature. Well, that logic snapped that stupid fish comparison right out of my brain. I threw away that strange thought like a small stone into the deep blue waves.
