98. The I in Brain

The Brain is the Source of all Emotion

"And men ought to know that from nothing else but (from the brain) come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations. "

Perception and Understanding

"And by this, in an especial manner, we acquire wisdom and knowledge, and see and hear, and know what are foul and what are fair, what are bad and what are good, what are sweet, and what unsavory;

some we discriminate by habit, and some we perceive by their utility. "

Tastes and Preferences

"By this we distinguish objects of relish and disrelish, according to the seasons; and the same things do not always please us. "

Madness and Mental Disturbance

"And by the same organ we become mad and delirious, and fears and terrors assail us, some by night, and some by day, "

Intrusive Thoughts

"and dreams and untimely wanderings, and cares that are not suitable, "

Mental Lapses

"and ignorance of present circumstances, desuetude, and unskilfulness."
