Cold

When I was sick, I remembered the odd state of the human mind and its lack of perspective in regards to one's present state. What I mean is that it's hard for us to really remember past moods and feelings other than the one's we currently experience. You can say "I was happy yesterday" but you can't recreate the emotion, you only know it was positive. Just like I can say, "I remember when it was warm outside and you went inside to cool off." But really, even though it's only been a few months, I have a hard time recalling what warm weather is like. The same is true with colds. When you're sick, you find difficult recalling what being better is really like and vice versa. It really is sort of amazing when you think about it. I see it as proof of one's existence that the present stands out to everything else in such comparison. Go figure.
