Thoughts flitting by my mind...
1. Is it possible to be without thought? To just be? Like when you first see the sunrise... just SEE it. Not judge it. Not comment on it. Not even an 'It's SO beautiful!' That one moment of no thought is what I live for!
2. Isn't the state of the mind attention? Isn't thought inattention? What is it to be in attention?
3. What is hurt? YOU are feeling the hurt... it was your reaction to someone or something. You can choose to be or not to be hurt. It's a choice. So, why hurt yourself at all? Unless you're completely masochistic? :)
4. When you're feeling something, feel it COMPLETELY. And watch yourself feeling it. Don't oppose it. Don't intellectualise it. Just feel it. And in that feeling and observation of the feeling, notice what happens. The feeling may dissolve, disappear. Or it may grow stronger. But the important thing is to observe.
