Hippocrates:

[pogs]

"From the brain and the brain alone, arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrow, pain, grief, and tears... The brain is also the seat of madness and delirium, of the fears and terrors which assail us by night or day..."

Comments

Yes indeed.

I've been digging Buddhism lately, and I just read this -

"Happiness and suffering come from your own mind, not from outside. Your own mind is the cause of happiness, your own mind is the cause of suffering. To obtain happiness and pacify suffering, you have to work within your own mind." ~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche

- which is uncannily similar to that hip bit of Hippocratic wisdom.
