I have a similar thought-habit. If I feel like shit (usually the kind that results from lack of sleep), I'm convinced the entire world feels the same; if I feel great, I'm just as convinced the whole world (all life) feels great. Everything is perceived through that background mental state. Even with this knowledge, I still experience it as described.

Ask yourself if the one perceiving represents the center of all perceivable? Afterwards allow yourself to question if you represent the choice at the center of a balance (need/want) based system?
