Art; We eventually realize it is not worth thinking about. The mind is very sick in this way. It does not want to let go of the thoughts. This is where the sickness arrises in ourselves and not just those who have treated us sadly.

+111 on that. The mind tends to be sick, almost loving that.
Even when we are perfectly conscious that we do not belong to those alien thoughts, the mind keeps revolving and revolving around them.
Mental torture. I often wondered how come we can be so enslaved to mental moods and mental loops.
I personally hate it, I must be the master of my mind, not the slave. Nevertheless, I'm not Always able to get rid of them.
Maybe the human race will find something else someday. For now we only have time and new events which naturally crowd out old thought patterns with new ones. As far as anything beyond those natural means ; the only thing we know is meditation and affirmations. i suppose you could add prayer to the list and ofcourse the help of other influences with not so many morbid thoughts.
The only real freedom from thoughts is in that space that is experienced in meditation when the mind loosens it's endless moods and mental loops as you described so well.
