dan berjalan

seruku ketika diam: sepertinya lelah itu hanya diam yang berlebihan...
seruku ketika lelah: sepertinya lelah itu diam yang berlebihan...

Ahhh..
Saat diam menikmati lelah
Diri pun lelah menikmati diam

The cortex might construct a "meaning" for some lower level sensations which gives rise to faulty ...

The answer is NO!
