And that gave me a great deal of comfort and relaxation because your brain doesn't operate well when you're in the unknown, when you're thinking like,' well, how can I be so... how can I misperceive ? How can I be so inaccurate and so insensitive,' when you think you're being sensitive to some sensibility that you've had for a long time.
