Experience vs. Thought





A few days ago, I tore the tendon in my left elbow that attaches to the muscles in the top site of one’s arm to the muscles on the top of the lower arm. In the nano-second in which the tearing took place it was quite painful.

I heard the pop of a tear, experienced the intense pain and smiled at myself for the stupidity from which it resulted.

None of the words above actually capture the experience, or else, you might be in pain.





What makes us “think” that great pain or intense feelings like “real love” have anything to do with thoughts?
