I like how you say, "skate with an ugly thought that can damage another. . ." What we say out loud is damaging but so is what we think toward people. We are all quite telepathic and moreso every day!
I just saw a Napoleon Hill quote on FB: 'Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do." That's on one hand. On the other hand there are the thoughts' origin . . . coming wily-nily, often in the wonderment of "you've got to be kidding me". I love the ability to question the thought if it brings me discomfort or pain (ala Byron Katie). I love the rationality of choosing the thought and staying with it or letting it go. Though most of all I love being able to be aware enough to not be directed and under the control of the thought. No, I'm not getting into our autonomous functioning systems . . . I don't want that selection level. at this consciousness level; I do want to eliminate my ability to 'skate' with an ugly thought that can damage another in this strange dream. I know I can pray healthfully and healingly and lovingly into another's mind, so I can, as I know of my foibles, or another's thoughts of allowance of ill toward others, pray as well for them. That's got to be so in the Oneness of us all, and have positive, though likely not immediate and apparent effect. After all, Oneness connections are like my rudimentary understanding of quantum entanglements where the same thing is known light years apart instantly. Thanks for your wonderful words. Blessings.
