Like spilling grease on your new pants. You can't ignore it, it won't go away, it will fester and get worse. You have to fully engage with it, do the focussing ON IT, have your attention on it, then process/clean it.
It's much more convenient to buy new pants then poorly rinse and repeat.
You can hide the stains but you've still got a leaky faucet? Maybe an Italian plumber with some mushrooms would help...
I drift towards existentialism myself but we're all individuals. Can inner monologues be an affliction? They must start at some point since it's language, the question is why? It's not like we're talking gibberish to ourselves in our minds at 6 months.
