Dude. I love this post. I need to stop mentally masturbating. LOL. Includes daydreaming, fantasizing. Oh, and I also think that literal masturbation is pointless. I often latch onto thoughts and just go over them in my mind repeatedly, which is mostly pointless... but they feel good and I want to stay with them. (Although I also do the same thing with anger sometimes. At least with anger I am accutely aware that I want to stop it, whereas with good emotions I am not necessarily.)
Shunryu Suzuki said, "To do something good is enough. To say, 'I did something good,' is extra."
