Our Preoccupation with Hurts
Only young children pay attention to the environment. After age five they are trying to make sense out of their hurts. Most of us spend at least nine tenths of our mental energy not in coping with the environment, where it belongs, but in this often fruitless but persistent, devoted attempt to make sense of ourselves internally.
