Is this simply the battle between learning to stop your thoughts and learning to simply accept your thoughts?

I know this is probably a rookie contradiction and you're probably tired of hearing it - but to desire the end of suffering - does that not cause suffering in itself?

Maybe that's the wrong battle? Maybe the right battle ought to be learning which thoughts bring you closer to enlightenment and which thoughts take you away from it?
