Thomas Szasz's Statement & Manifesto:

Aug 30, 2004 00:55

If you talk to God, you are praying;
If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.

If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist;
If God talks to you, you are a schizophrenic.

--Thomas S. Szasz, The Second Sin,
Anchor/Doubleday, Garden City, NY. 1973, Page 113.

Sound good to you? ;-)

I like the way this guy thinks...or at least what I read so far. Lately I've been thinking more and more that most mental disorders are just personality differences. I know there is some stuff that's not 'right' with me (some of it may be due to a chemical imbalance), but I'm happy and don't want to be told that I should get 'help' for it.

Don't get me wrong, some people may need outside assistance, but my opinion on that is basically each person should be able to make the call for themselves. If they aren't happy with themselves or their life, maybe they should see what options they have to change it.

I am entranced by the cube questions offered off your site, and am also dying to know the interpretation. I don't however, wish to be too much trouble, seeing as how I live down the street from a barnes and noble... but on the other hand, I thought I'd ask you first... Because maybe, just maybe, we'll both get a kick out of it, and you'll enjoy reading my lj or something. With your permission, I have my answers typed up, I could send them to you via e-mail. Feel free to post back here or visit my lj.

May Peace & Gentle breezes Pass Your Way

Hey there Chica-chica ;-)

no worries about bothering me with the cubing, i would love to talk with you about it more :-)

do you have any IMs that you use? we could talk about it all in chat (that would be great if you could)...

just let me know if you'd like to do it that way, i prefer to do it while talking/chatting with someone, rather than just from written answers...

nameste!
