You see, this is where I argue against Glen. I would replace "human mind"
with "human brain". Talk about the human mind is completely subjective.
Many have wacked others with sticks in an effort to determine the set of
locutionary forces within the brain that lead to the exclamation, "Ow!
Stop that!" There are some who have coined the abstract term "pain"
in an effort to explain the behavior but we find this "explanation"
lacking in rigor. One might as well be talking about The Gods moving
the Sun and the Moon across the mantle of the sky.
