To me, 'junk thought' is pretty self-explanatory: useless/worthless thoughts. It also makes me think of all the trivial ideas and questions that travel through my head with no real intentions. I wouldn't say that thinking in general is worthless, but I do think that there are certain things that are not really worth thinking too much about. Then again, I also think that 'junk thought' is subjective because things are never equally important to everyone.
Death, to me, is one of the most pointless things to think about (obviously, making sure everything is in order is important). I just never understood people who spend their time wondering how or when they are going to die. Another thing that I believe is 'junk thought' is celebrity news. Ah, geez. I cannot stand that their are so many shows dedicated to following the lives of celebrities. Talk about a definite waste of brain space!
In terms of how 'junk thought' influence people, it's hard to say. Everyone looks at ideas differently and therefore, it all affects people in different ways. Many people can allow 'junk thought' to flow in and out of their brains without a second thought about it. Then there are the other people who, when 'junk thought' enters their brain, they can do nothing but think about the trivial information and ideas filling their minds.
Why do people waste their valuable brain capacities on ideas and questions that hold no true value?
