“Why || “But why do you speak
both of physical & mental
‘strain’?” –
“Because they have a certain similarity, they have a common
element.”
What is this common element
?
Can you
point to it as you pointed in …?
Can you say anything more about it than that it is the element of
strain?

“It is a certain ten
sion.”
That doesn't get us any further, for why do you talk of tension
in these different cases.
“A certain feeling of ten
sion
accompanies || is part
of both experiences”.
Are you not just translating what you said before, into other language
15
or are you
actually
refer
ring to an experience like that of
feeling your heart beat
. Thus I could || , as you
could say that this feeling is a
constituent both of certain sensations of fear & of
hopes || joy.
