"And listen, questioning existence and consciousness is a natural human urge. Dismissing it as mere 'overthinking' feels dismissive. Maybe some reflection, even on unanswerable questions, can be a valuable part of being human."
"Finally, while inner peace sounds great, isn't there a risk of becoming apathetic if we just ignore all thoughts and questions? Maybe a balance between overthinking and healthy reflection is the key.

Similarly, the second statement implies that not every sentence conveys meaningful information. Some statements may be nonsensical, ambiguous, or devoid of significance, rendering them meaningless in a practical sense.
Finally, the third statement emphasizes the importance of discernment and selective engagement. It encourages individuals to refrain from feeling obligated to form opinions on every issue they encounter, recognizing that it's acceptable to withhold judgment or remain neutral when necessary. This approach fosters intellectual humility, open-mindedness, and a willingness to prioritize thoughtful consideration over hasty judgment.
