That was a wonderful read. Talking to yourself in the third person does help you deal more effectively with emotional stress and decision making. I have believed that more intelligent people talk to themselves. In other words there is a connection between talking to yourself and the intellect. On a side note your post on Serene Simplicity can Develop into Chaotic Complexity for which I commented on inspired a post of my own you may be interested in. It is on taking Responsibility for your Interconnection in Society in Religion. I want to personally thank you for the inspiration for this subject. Your posts are a good motivator in inspiring others. Again thanks for sharing. - Troy
