Sure. It's also an excellent way of digging yourself into falsehood or untenable positions you believe so deeply you cannot escape without completely breaking down.
Reality is the check and balance on thinking.
But wouldn't a deep investigation of reality and the world, of which we and our feelings are a part, more conclusively check and balance our thinking?

I always think that thing ‘knowing something by heart’ gives you a depth of possibility which is more potential than seeing new sights, however marvelous and exciting they are.”
