Aw man, that's not fair:D I mean, I knew that before I wrote the first post, but it's the ultimate answer, and if we lift it up to that plane, every similar discussion or problem dissolves by itself. I mean, if I lose a leg, I know that it's a wonderful morning and I'm alive, but nevertheless I would feel like shit because it's hard to drive a car, get around or get girls, not to mention psychological trauma and phantom pains:) I mean, I deliberately avoid bringing the discussion to that level because it will simply render it meaningless.
But, on a simpler and "lesser planes", as childish as it sounds, I would say that things can be measured, for example by math and logic, as tools to help the limited mind. At least when it comes to things that are fathomable. For example, the Earth is not a giant cube, regardless of how you feel or think about it. You are, of course, still free to think either way, but you would be wrong:)
Yes, the practice advice is correct, though I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment, so the practice seems very far. The arm situation doesn't help, the doc said that the full recovery is very probable, but I am not seeing any progress thus far, which brings me back in the vortex of worry - and, yeah, I know, but the six months of that shits gets to your brain... I can't put on jeans or open doors without cringing and I haven't had a second with no pain and burning present. Sometimes I can't sleep due to pain and sometimes I have to lie down and squeal for like two hours, even though I took painkillers and so on.
So, I am pretty much vulnerable to stuff as my resources are slowly getting depleted. So basically, even if all this is overthinking, I hope that I would simply at least vent a bit:)
But yeah, you guys are right and I would say the very same thing to you if you were me:D
