"The emotive responses to images even apply to the images called feelings themselves. The state of being in pain, of feeling pain, for example, can become enriched by a new layer of processing - a secondary feeling, as it were - prompted by varied thoughts with which we react to the basic situation. The depth of this layered feeling state is probably a hallmark of human minds. It is the sort of process likely to undergird what we call suffering."
