 I think we all go through that process, don't we? I entertain many, many different thoughts without accepting them all. I thought that was the way the human mind worked.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

 I agree with that! I entertained other thoughts although I don't accept them.

Good thought - it should work that way but we know it does for some and not for others.

Me too - but we all know of some who automatically reject or accept things.

I actually entertain far more thoughts than I accept. Can't know if you will accept something or not unless you consider it.

Exactly - and even if we have definite ideas we need to consider others, even opposing ones. Considering does not mean we have to accept them just that we think about the possibility.

    Entertaining concepts is a favorite pastime of mine.........I don't really know what was meant by the word "accepting".......In a sense, we can't entertain a thought in any depth without accepting it.........I suppose what is meant here is accepting the thought as fact or belief.......I try to keep things moving....dancing thoughts........that's what imagination is...........isn't it? Is this like ......suspending disbelief?
I agree with your conclusions. I too have far more "considerations" than beliefs and have even been known to change my mind when something new fits better, but then I have a typical ADD brain.

Maybe you have an ADD brain too. Isn't it fun to consider new things, possibilities and outcomes?

Oh, I don't know about not having time. Some part of my brain is constantly "wondering" while another part takes care of business.
