The Brain and Mind discussion

I have just got done listening to a video lecture fro my "The Science of Happiness" class I'm taking online through edX. It it the lecturer gave this quote from Anne Lamont: "Your mind is like a dangerous neighborhood, you don't want to go there alone."

Wow...that's profound. I kind of like it. I do, I like it.

Right after I heard this quote, I told my girlfriend, "I don't mind being alone in my mind, even if I get mugged once in awhile."

Haha... I like that! It's funny, sometimes I actually say to myself that I love my mind. I truly look forward to time alone with my thoughts. We are a rare breed indeed aren't we?!

I do love my mind, even with its defects. After all it what makes me me with some assistance from my body, but what is the mind other than the brain, which is physical after all and connected to the rest of the body. I love my mind for its curiosity and drive to know.

What would we ever do without it? Our minds are the greatest gift of all, an affirmation of our existence. I love my mind and I can't imagine what my life would have been like with a different one.
