<aside>
In a different context, rather than saying "I am confused", "I am sad" (or happy), "I am tired", "I think", "I remember", and "I decided" ("I made up my mind"), we say "I have confusion", "I have sadness" (or happiness), "I have tiredness", "I have thoughts", "I have memories", and "I have decisions". This "I have ..." isn't strictly accurate. What's closer to the truth is "confusion has me", "sadness has me" (or happiness), "tiredness has me", "thoughts have me", "memories have me", and "decisions have me". But that's a subject for another conversation on another occasion. In this conversation, saying "there are thoughts" and not "thoughts have me" (rather than "I have thoughts") etc, is appropriate. <un-aside> |
