Revelation

I just realized something....psychologists, psychiatrists and the like aren't interested in making you feel mentally healthy. They're merely interested in making you think you feel okay while they set you up so that you keep coming back....keep coming back....keep coming back....and keep giving them your fruits. I'm fairly certain of it. It's like the media; nevermind telling the people the truth; just keep them tuned in! I'm going to say this now, and I may very well say it again: M***Y MUST DIE. Utterly primitive society is gone, and a civilized society is here. We can work together to share, people. We will still have services that are currently paid if we are sufficiently motivated to them.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here near the end...in fact, I probably am...but, again, if we work together.....it isn't hard.......Open your eyes.....open your heart.....teach your children to share......A utopia is possible...........

Thought

(And also a song by the Motions)

Let me know what you think of this thought.

I have often wondered what life would be like in the complete and utter absence of time-keeping devices. No clocks.....no calendars. The reason is, it seems our entire lives are governed by deadlines. We are all expected to have everything done by a certain day at a certain time, and to be entering different main phases of life at certain years of age. It seems to me that all of this makes for a cold, rushed and unfriendly culture.



(Thanks to my Anthropology 175 professor for this cartoon by Tom Cheney. I wish Blogger would show the whole image...)

So, what would happen without clocks and calendars? Would there, maybe, be a more relaxed atmosphere? With no rigid deadlines, would we be willing to let ourselves and each other take our time....make sure we get it right?

Or would total chaos and pandemonium ensue? What do you think?

Perhaps sometime in the future, when all humans, all clocks/calendars, and all, well, everything, are controlled by one central computer which then crashes, we'll find out......... (We're nearly there now, I think.)


Here's a song sent to me by a friend from It's PSYCH. It's a folk-style tune (parts of which sound very similar to Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's All Right) by the Motions, and it's called "Take Your Time." Cheers, Alex!

I just wonder, babe, why they can't slow down...........

Saw my therapist today.......

Question. The typical, mainstream notion is that therapy/psychological help is supposed to, you know, help us out....make us feel better. Yet I generally feel worse when I emerge from a session compared to when I entered it. Does anyone else see a psychologist or something like it? Is this normal? Does relative sanity settle in eventually?

My frank opinion, which is unlikely to change anytime soon, is that if being fully mentally healthy equals being utterly miserable, I will have no part of it.

Do-o-o-ooooong

I just thought of something groovy I wanted to say on here, and then I got so caught up in answering a joking comment with all kinds of things that I forgot what it was. I think my therapist owes me some of my dough back.
