mental state

Description

A mental state is an invisible black box that makes coffee taste bitter for no apparent reason and compels you to reread the same email three times. It boasts about “understanding” others’ moods while sinking its own into the depths of mystery. It’s also why you suddenly can’t read the whiteboard during meetings. Drifting on the sea of consciousness, there’s no promise of reaching shore. The more self-help books you read, the more bizarre the maze of your mental state becomes.
