Too much?
Yesterday the professor told me in front of everyone in the class that I am extremely analytical. I didn't quite know how to take it and so I waited until the end of class to ask her if that was such a bad thing. Her answer was that no, that it meant that I was really thinking about the subject.
But it got me thinking, and doubting of course, whether I sometimes push too far. I am well aware of the fact that I tend to look for what is not said, what is not implied and what sometimes is not even thought of. I often want to go beyond what is obvious and look deeper into things.
I've been known to dig in so deep that whatever I was digging for is no longer an issue. It sometimes has come to point of annoyance, an although I have that little voice on my shoulder telling me to stop I don't know how to.
I question everything, absolutely everything. But, shouldn't there be a point of just accepting things for what they are?
What marks the difference between a quizzical mind and a provocateur?

to think or not to think that is a question
weather it is nobler to sling words or accept that a cigar is just a cigar
is it better to oppose the statement or to realize the true behind it
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks of the truth
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all?
The lady doth protests too much, methinks.
