Healthy thinking means that individuals live their lives sensibly and give meaning to their lives.
A sensible person:
Discovers the truth through research.
Avoids making definitive judgements on every subject.
Resists the tendency to make unsupported generalisations.
They are aware that what is true is not necessarily right, and what is wrong is not necessarily false, simply because they want it to be so. For this reason, even if they are afraid or anxious, they face the facts.
