> That it’s absurd how much suffering the human mind is capable of experiencing. A few years later and I can no longer feel much of the trauma of the experience, but there were months were I would just lay there feeling the aftershocks of the seemingly unending emotional pain I had experienced.
Sorry to say it, but that's the same what can happen when you're falling in love with someone. And if your love breaks, yes, most time you will find someone who will say 'You choosed the wrong person', like the wrong set&setting. But this is one of the more or less good endings, what when your partner dies?
But would you ever warn someone to falling in love?
And that I say, who thinks LSD is not a drug for everyone.
- Trasmatta 4y agoThis comparison doesn’t really work for me. The pain I felt was more like the worst heartbreak imaginable, but magnified 100 fold, then spread across infinite time and space, all while having the knowledge that this pain was my eternal state and would NEVER end. This isn’t to discount the immense pain people feel from heartbreak or losing a loved one. Just that the human mind seems to have an incredibly large capacity for suffering, moreso than we’re aware even during the most painful moments of our lives.
- pineaux 4y agoI agree with you on this. This can also be experienced from meditatieve practises and journeys into "spiritual enlightenment". Drugs and mind altering behaviors like meditation are a way of hacking the mind. If you hack stupidly or are really unlucky, you can brick your mind. Doesnt mean you shouldnt do it. Adventures are adventures.
