Psychological and emotional pain is just like physical pain, it is natures way of telling us that something about us or that we're doing is wrong and/or needs attention. Without physical pain, our species would not had survived.
It's a wonder that our psychological and emotional pain is in some ways and often all the result of the way we feel about life in this world as we know it, and we escape the reality of that with drugs and television-what perhaps might as well be viewed as insanity which ironically is regarded as normalcy-what we have defined as the opposite of insane, insane being somebody suffering from psychosis, psychosis being a detachment from reality. (The sane are insane)
We make titles for ourselves and create societies, we give ourselves purpose and refuse to see the base of things. The truth of our perceptions and the information gathered around it, a series of building blocks - a chain.
We forget to realize in our daily lives that the world as we know it, the societies, structures, technologies and cultures, are a result of our artificial doing.
What's worse is that we don't realize that our perception builds our understanding of this universe. A animal, a pet dog for example, can see the door knob you turn to open the door and let him out and reach that knob himself, but does he let himself out once you've demonstrated it? The mind builds frames for itself to avoid having to face what it does not know and what it may never be able to comprehend, and it builds that individual and the society struck by it their very understanding of reality and life.
To say that what we do not know is more significant than what we do would outrage the psyches of many people. To propose that the universe we perceive could perhaps be entirely different, that so many things may exist right before our eyes that we can not see or know of and that conformity and normalcy are a detriment to the species. It is not in our nature to accept the idea that life can have purpose while being pointless or that a life spent as a successful business person or celebrity is truly of no greater ultimate value than a bum eating from a trash can. That even in science, that unless your specific work leads to the ultimate understanding of the universe as a link in the chain, it is pointless beyond our worldly application and your earthly reward -- The species is still going to die.
The universe may not know itself, or maybe it does. It seems superior to us, but we have decided that only we can think, that what we know is truth and what we perceive is real to the universe as it is to us. The idea of a person born blind, deaf and mute being a genius is logically unknowable to us with certainty because there exists no bridge in which we can communicate, therefor so is the idea that the universe could be intelligent and knowing, and that things could exist within our surroundings, perhaps of a infinite number of dimensions that we cannot perceive. That perhaps even we are sharing this very space we occupy at this moment with a infinite number of other beings we do not know of, just as we now know we share them with a great many beings that exist within our body just as we exist within the universe.
That a madman can perceive a entirely different world, as a person on LSD could, may be evidence that the mind can be defective or impaired, but also that their are more than one or few ways to perceive existence. The societal norm will decide which perceptions are accurate to base judgment on by what they can know and believe, based on what they are taught and perceive.
