Overthinking, overanalyzing, and over imagining are ways the mind kills itself. The more we think, the more we worry ourselves to death. The more we worry about death, the more life we have lost. In the Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice, the greatest musician who ever lived, Orpheus descends into the Underworld to retrieve his newly-wedded wife who had died of a poisonous snake bite while fleeing from a man attempting to seize her. With his lyre, Orpheus convinces Hades to allow Eurydice to return to the land of the living on one condition. Followed by Eurydice on their way out of the Underworld, Orpheus was not to look back at his wife to see if she was indeed behind him or she would remain in Hades forever. The long, arduous path through the Underworld back up to the world of the living, Orpheus questioned whether or not she was indeed following behind. As he was nearing his world, his paranoid overthinking drove him mad to the point of looking back, where he then saw his wife being dragged away, losing her forever. The mind, as beautiful and free as it can be, can also become a prison of insanity and chaos. Stuck in a prison state of stagnation, one cannot grow. Without growth, there is no life, only an eventual death.
