Fromm, in the art of being: (For self analysis) it may be helpful to focus around life goals, such as overcoming greed, alienation ... necrophilia.

Right there, in the middle of a list of sane things. WTF? This is like reading Jung (I think it was) and suddenly coming across something like "Such as the fatherland needing her fuhrer, which Germany ( Read more... )

I have somewhere to live in a few days now, and it's very easy - I'm moving downstairs, into the flat the woman downstairs bought off Cathy, and we bonded over how rubbish Cathy is.
