Can you explain the meaning of meditating on something, such as "meditating on this question" or "meditating on what I said"?

 When someone is meditating on something, it means they are thinking about it deeply and thoughtfully, often in a reflective or contemplative manner. It suggests more than just casual or surface-level thinking; it involves careful consideration, introspection, and sometimes even trying to understand or find insight into the subject.

For example:

• "Meditating on this question" means taking time to deeply think about the question, exploring different angles, pondering the possible answers, and reflecting on the implications of the question.

• "Meditating on what I said" means thinking carefully about the words spoken, perhaps considering their meaning, impact, or any underlying message, and reflecting on how they were received or whether they were expressed in the best way.

The word meditate here is not necessarily about sitting in a quiet space and practicing mindfulness (though that is one form of meditation), but about engaging in deep, thoughtful reflection or contemplation.
