If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then
it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful
physical experience. On the other hand, if someone is
suffering from depression, anxiety, or any form of
emotional distress, then even if he or she happens to be
enjoying physical comforts, he will not really be able to
experience the happiness that these could bring.
(Dalai Lama)
