For sure. I realized that those were not entirely choice words after I used them. What I meant more, is that, personally, as someone who isn't in any way shape or form physically superior, I find my mental realm to be a very important place. To me, it just doesn't make sense that a world-class athlete with a perfect body would also have a perfect brain. If that was the case...why would be they allowed perfection while others were not? It's the same thing. Both also involve the body, though I understand what you are saying...trust me, I've gone ++++ a few too many times for my own good. I just see mentally handicapped people, and others with extreme autism, and I know that's not just their weak willpower.
I used to be the smiling naive one too, and I remember exactly what changed it. It was at a concert, and I was on a bit of acid. A girl came up to me, while we were surrounded in all directions by people and said... 'I feel....I feel.... ______" wanting me to fill in the blank. It was clear she was also on acid, and so I figured the best thing I could do would be to comfort her. So I say "I feel ....
happy?" And I remember, she just looks at me with this look of astonishment and goes... "NO. I feel like I'm in prison." Because of all the people around her. And I realized I did too..but I wasn't admitting it to myself. And then she was gone
By the way, that insight into different languages was fascinating.
