St. Anger - Unfortunately I do believe many of us do. Thinking takes no action, no courage, no determination, no commitment. Yeah...we think too much.

In my experience, I have found that humanity can and will complicate everything to death.Therefore, yes I think we over think life & then complicate it until we have to be on our toes all of the time to not break a rule. The older I get the more rules there are to follow and I don't mean laws.
Some rules are good, but most are unneccesary.
Like with religion. I simply follow the 10 commandments. That was the only 10 rules set down. Humanity made up the rest.
I see people everyday who are so worried about what's going to happen to them the next minute or in the next life that they can't enjoy living.
I say sit back & enjoy the ride. Make somebody's life better if it's in your power.

But we are drawn into thinking (which can lapse into over-thinking, granted) because we see the clear results of under-thinking every night on the news. I think too much about what to do next, so much so that it becomes fatiguing and tedious. But that's how I process data. I can't really be any other kind of person. And given the choice, I'd take my approach over a lot of other people's. At it's most extreme, I equate under-thinking with poor planning, which I equate with sleeping in your car or under a bridge somewhere. (Not always the case, I know, but still...)

If I'm an astronaut, and it requires quite a lot of thinking to put me into space, then I hope that a maximum amount of thinking is going into making my trip good. Otherwise, my trip could be very bad.
If someone is serving me ice cream, and they have joyfully prepared the most spherical possible ice cream scoops by calculating the diameter of the scoop and applying that to their own secret formula for the density of each ice cream, I might derisively accuse them of "too much thinking," but why would I interfere with their joy?
If you believe that you think too much, what would be the amount that you believe you should think before you would be accepted by a peer group?
You could really only consider it "thinking too much" if it caused you or those around you misery. Is it the thinking that causes you/others misery, or something else?

Yes. The frontal lobe is, in many people, the vehicle of pumping our egos. Our frontal lobes have their own idea of whats good for humanity.
Hugs are probably the most effective way to improve someones life.That's a little too boring for the frontal lobe though.

I think that we spend too much time in Internet "instead of doing our best to make it as good as it can for ourselves and those
around us" Quote you. No offence, please

Many do. But that's not important, it's the one's that do who are.
