Why are they called “second thoughts”? Is it because they are thoughts apart from your original thoughts; therefore, they come second? Or could it be because they are brief, short-lived thoughts; quick flashes of doubt? In other words, they’re only supposed to last a second?
Because if you count the number of times that this thought uninvitedly arose in my head, it wouldn’t be the second time.
And it definitely does not last seconds.
