Tears of Joy (Never, unfortunately, experienced that!). Paradoxical laughter (Just a normal day in my life). Extrema (of pleasure & pain) are singular...
The way I see it, the subject matter of science is such that consciounsness, hence pain & joy, is irrelevant. You don't get special treatment from gra...
People say "I'm a servant of god" with great joy and immense pride! @"180 Proof" Non serviam! The seeds of a revolution in there somewhere. Lather, ri...

Fate: If it's x that's your destiny then no matter what you do, it's gonna be x. Self-fulfilling prophecy: A person predicts x, and x happens because,...
