the next clear night wasted obsessing Explanation: might work -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days1 hr (2010-12-04 19:49:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I found this, which may be useful to understand the meaning of "pensarsi addosso": ...rimuginare lungamente su ricordi della nostra vita spiacevoli e dolorosi, che in nulla possono aiutarci nel presente per stare meglio, con noi stessi e con gli altri... ...altre volte però il pensiero si indirizza verso cupi meandri, colmi di ricordi spiacevoli, dove insuccessi e fallimenti si intrecciano, nutrendosi l’uno dell’altro. Cui prodest? A chi giova tale *** ‘pensarsi addosso’ ***? http://vitadicoppia.blogosfere.it/2006/02/pensarsi-addoss.ht... |
