Doesn't seem fair does it? I think one thing standing in the way of understanding is just how scary it is to admit that all the stuff we see as our 'self', our personality, will, thinking, etc, is based in large part in an organ.. the brain.. that can malfunction just like a pancreas or liver. It's such a blow to the ego to admit we're not in control of our minds.
