Myself & I

— B —

• Body Self, vessel, political battleground, or crime scene.

— C —

• Consciousness The subjective state of one's awareness and knowing — our personal version of the universe. Indescribable. Cannot be measured, verified, or transferred.

— D —

• Death Our end, a transition, or the thing that makes everything else matter.

— E —

• Emotion Things we feel and often act on — fear, anger, pride, etc. May be our own, but also induced, coerced, or manufactured.

— F —

— H —

• Health Physical state, commercial industry, or human right.
• Home Where we're from, where we live, and where we belong — defined by us and by others.

— L —

• Life Biological and biographical — defined by us and by others.
• Love Connection and caring for another. Not possessive or conditional. Our driving force and only real salvation. Whether we realize it or not.

— P —

• Pain Significant physical, psychological, or existential suffering. Always relative. Perhaps the price of too much pleasure, or just being alive. (see also Pleasure or Suffering)
• Pleasure The opposite, or flip side, of pain and suffering. What we seek, what we're sold, and what we're warned to moderate. (see also Pain or Suffering)

— S —

• Suffering The sustained experience of pain — physical, psychological, or existential discomfort and discontent. What we try to avoid, what we tend to cause, and probably a purpose or result of life. (see also Pain or Pleasure)
