Enjoy The Road

An idea from Meditations on First Philosophy

Yet you aren’t in your body the way a pilot is in a ship. A pilot sees damage to his ship, but you feel pain when your body is hurt. Hunger and thirst are muddled thoughts that come from mind and body being mixed together.

From Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes
