We have so many words for states of the mind, and so few for states of the body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Words are but pictures of our thoughts.
I think that a lot of us, whether we are religious or not - there are no words to express some things except religious words. For instance, 'soul.'
The body says what words cannot.
I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.
Possible ideas and thoughts are vast in number. A distinct word for every distinct idea and thought would require a vast vocabulary. The problem in language is to express many ideas and thoughts with comparatively few words.
All human states are organic brain states - happiness, sadness, fear, lust, dreaming, doing math problems and writing novels - and our brains are not static.
The body has a mind of its own.
I've never tried to define my states of mind when I write.
Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.
There can only be one state of mind as you approach any profound test; total concentration, a spirit of togetherness, and strength.
