How do you experience life?

[Pa'li Makto]

I suppose if I had to pick one because you can't put in another poll option I'd say mind. Only because when I think about what I've experienced it seems to make more impact, become clearer and I can relive the experiences in my mind. I always seem to be more of an observer one who observes things first.

I can't choose because I experince life with both of them. I'd say I experence life with the heart. Should have put that as a choice too.

I see the world through my mind and rarely experience it in the physical. The reason for this is that my mind makes an excellent hiding place from the horrors of the world. Alas, if only I could shuttle over to Pandora...

The body is there to maintain the mind with nutrients and transport it to places. Other than that, it doesn't really have much use nor value. Then again maybe some people have use for their bodies, but mine is not as functional as I'd like it to be, so I have yet to find a suitable use for it.

Pretty much this, but I guess you meant to say that the mind makes an excellent hiding place from the horrors of the world? In its current form, that would mean that the horrors of the world have a good hiding place in your mind.

@heli, does it feel like you're mind is blocking out the physical just to get you through the day. Kind of like how on a run your mind will zone out and you won't remember your run, you will just be completely in your thoughts not feeling anything, except it happens all the time?

[Helicoradian]

That's a good way to describe it. But it doesn't happen all the time, just most of the time.

[dstroudswan]

Yep, that's what I meant.

I take life as it comes.

That's all I can think of atm, and none of the poll options fits me.

[Moco Loco]

I've had periods where one or the other was more dominant, but for most of my life they have been pretty equal.

Theorist - Should you wish to change the poll, what would you add or take away?

EDIT: New option suggested by OP added - Vote count reset at the OP's request.

I would add an option that said "Neither outweighs the other in any sense"

And @heli, yes it is not all the time, only a majority of the time. Do you ever feel like you have a "phase in" where everything looks so clear and vivid, and you feel physically here on earth, but then you slip back into your mind?
