I've been having a lot of thoughts lately regarding the distinction between thoughts and feelings. Lately, I've begun to regard everything on this earth as a mere interpretation of the brain.
Whether it be
global causes or something that punctures my skin or what a person I
talked to said to me. Everything is processed in our brain and we give
it feelings and thoughts. 'Oh, I think that was rude', 'I feel sad today
because of some bad news' and 'My shoulder hurts'.
I started comparing
every existing factor in my life to a factor present somewhere else in
the world. It is indeed all relative but that means there has to be more
than one entity for a relationship to occur. That also means that I
shouldn't feel a certain thing if I didn't find something in my
existence to compare it with. Say, pain threshold. If I learned as a kid
never to realize what is physical pain the way most people, could I
have now replaced the feeling in my body to be that of pleasure?
