The problem with logic / thinking / logical thinking is that the conclusion is built into the premise

...and so the vicious cycle goes on.

Interesting observation which I picked up recently due to having a cold:

If one part of your body is aching and in an instant you experience pain / pleasure in a totally different area of your body and totally unrelated event, have you noticed how the original pain "dissapears"?

Does it dissapear?

OR

Are all these "pains" a figment of one's "mind"?

The mind is a vicious thing, it is finite...becaue it is limited by language and there is only so many finite number of comprehendable sentences you can formulate in any language, as new words are introduced you formulate a few more comprehendable sentences. Thus does this mean the world's knowledge is limited? Yes if words are used to describe knowledge but if experience / moment to moment living is used then one's knowledge is infinite, no words can describe anything fully.....if you really look around you will come to accept that words have made us dumber....but such is the nature of the "disease" that in order to be cured of it you need to use the very disease "words / thought / mind" to rid yourself of it. WHY? Because only once you have exhausted your finite mind will you realise how useless the so-called intellect is.

This is a personal opinion. I could be totally right, totally wrong, both or neither! (Or maybe I am just mad!) :-)
