well

You make a good point Hope. I mean everyone seem to feel pain etc. in the same way. Or it could be that we only perceive that we all feel pain in the same way. But we are in a way fixed the same way when we go to a doctor. Does it really matter? Dickinson was talking about how the perception of the brain not only includes the sky, but also you and me as well. So maybe everything, even pain, is just a construction of the brain. And who's to say, maybe everyone's brain works in it's own way and perceives it's own thing. I don't know I guess anything is possible.
