I have got thoroughly pissed off with the way we are encouraged to pathologise our differences and strive for a world in which strong emotions have been eradicated. It is all too common, I fear, in new age discourse.Idrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799921912795975330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699701021609132279.post-88804273561343511812009-05-03T22:14:00.000+01:002009-05-03T22:14:00.000+01:00Hiya Brian, good to see you back after a while!
A...Hiya Brian, good to see you back after a while!<br /><br />A very honest post. It brought to mind something I watched today on Scrubs (juvenile in comparison to the serious issues you are writing about but I think worth a mention). <br /><br />On the show one of wife and child of one of the docotrs went away for the week, and he was making a big show about the fact he wasn't going to miss them and become lonely. To his surprise, he ended up really missing them, and was actually beating himself up about it, saying things along the lines of "Why do I miss them so much? I was perfectly happy when I was alone before." Then another doctor said to him somethign like "Well, is it so bad that you've become attached to your wife and kid? To miss someone is not to be inable to cope without them, but to be human and care. Is that such a bad thing?"<br /><br />It's along the lines of what you're saying in my opinion. Sex is a human thing, about connection and warmth and physicality and desire - not about neurosis! And so it is with other things. <br /><br />Nice post, given me some food for thought.Haley @ Iridescent Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571490683886506337noreply@blogger.com
