In "The Veil of Thought", Sam Harris says ...
Your mind is
"the most rambling,
chaotic,
needling,
insulting,
insufferable person
you will ever meet.
It's like having some maniac
walk through the front door of your house
and follow you from room to room
and refuse to stop talking.
And this happens every day of your life."
When I heard this, I thought, "Huh. I guess I'm not the only one."
(By the way - if you're curious - Harris does offer a "solution", a way to shut up your mind. Meditation. Learning how to exert control over your thoughts.)
