Mind over matter or?

If you think of how many things can happen to the mind using the English language as a tool, if you don't mind think this - It can be boggled, as in mindboggling; It can be blown, as in mindblowing; It can be lessened, or can be lessnessed, as in mindless (act of writing this) or mindlessness (as in without purpose as this blog); It can be altered, as in through use of certain prohibited or non prohibited substance use in mindnumbing proportions; It can be used to 'mind the gap' (between available faculty and reality); It can be used to 'mind the language' itself (this very language that can twist something beyond recognition); Ultimately coercing you to ask not what you can do to rid yourself of this mindless nonsense but how you can make matters better if you think of it as matter over mind? Does it matter? Do you mind?
