Analyse This!

It all started over a month ago when someone told me that I over-analyse.  It's not the first time I've heard this, but...it's the first time that I started to analyse, analyzing.   
 
So, on the drive home from church, I asked my family if there was a such a thing.  Can you really over-analyse?  The consensus was an astounding YES!  Except for Josh.  He wanted to know what analyse meant.  Little did Josh know, he was going to get an intense lesson on analyzing.  
 
The argument for over-analyzing is this: Sometimes things are simpler than we make them.  My argument is: If it's simple, there would be nothing to analyse, therefore...you could not over-analyse.  If there is something to analyse, who's to say that you are over-analyzing?   
 
I win! 
 
Well, not quiet.  Seems the majority believes that there is such a thing as over-analyzing, including my daughter's new boyfriend.  (How did he get into this?)  I am beginning to think that accusing someone of over-analyzing something, is just a quick attempt to shut them up.  Think about it.  Who responds to someone when they say your over-analyzing?  Usually the conversation ends. 
 
This conversation however, did not end.  On and on the thoughts and comments were made, but I have to say...I had more thoughts than anyone else. :)  We talked about this at the table, in the car and at the grocery store.  For weeks, I analysed the way that we analyse, in so many directions and with much fervor.  Now, I am done.  I have not over-analysed analyzing. 
 
Just like Gandalf...I have analysed precisely what I meant to. he he he
