1230. About people who are continually reflecting on things, when they come into the other life

There are some who, during their bodily life, had acquired a habit and character of reflecting on everything they hear, for the purpose of discerning the causes. There are people like this, who do not stop at whatever comes along, but think inwardly about what they meet with, not for a bad purpose, nor for a good one, but simply as a pursuit they enjoy.
