The mind is a wonderful thing, is it not? How, that without physically being attacked, you can feel knives stabbed through your guts, your heart, whatever it may be? Or how you can feel your heart drop to the ground and make your stomach twist and churn, aching as you want to shrivel up into nonexistence? The mind allows for us to experience all these extraordinary events and think further into detail, bringing to life something so absurd like the feeling of your lungs actually collapsing as if you were going to drop dead on the floor. Getting hurt doesn't just have to be physically anymore thanks to it. It especially helps you experience the feeling of having all bodily fluids drained from you, repeated stabs taken through you chest, without having to actually go through the process of dying. It can manage to convince yourself into actually feeling in these situations, and you have all the time to thank it for this gift. Now we can know how it feels to have our heart ripped out directly from our chest. I thank you.
