Aren't they mostly just annoying if you're unaware of the fact that they're empty phenomena? If I see thoughts as they are, why would they be any more annoying than an itch, or any other sensation?
I suppose I'd say the problem with thoughts is taking them to be solid reality, not necessarily the thoughts per se. But I think the same applies to any phenomenon. Seems we're pretty much in agreement. (Or not?)
