“Or should I, (the horror!), stop caring about psychology and believe in nothing?”

Though it would be anathema to my younger (as in 39-year-old) self, I think this is probably closer to right/healthy than not. In other words, have all the thoughts you want--host them, entertain them, wine them and dine them, maybe even take them to bed for an impassioned fling--just don’t marry them, don’t wed yourself to them eternally, don’t sacrifice yourself to others to them. Don’t believe in your thoughts.
