> That it’s absurd how much suffering the human mind is capable of experiencing.
When I was 8 or 9 I had a night terror that involved some sort of life-sized game of Tetris that was moving terribly fast. My brain wholly adopted the belief that if I were to lose, everyone I loved would die horribly. I was trapped in this night terror for what felt like forever. Afterwards I refused to sleep voluntarily for weeks.
To this date, nothing has come close. I would describe the feeling as “dread.” Just complete, pure dread.
