Mental Health

[crunchy_pickle (5)]

I decided to write on this topic since a lot of people including myself have suffered a lot of loss and loss of both time, energy, and life because of our current Mental Health Standards.

Mental Health Philosophies suggest that in a normal world, normal people will be happier with normalcy and afraid of what is abnormal. If the normal state of man is just to survive comfortably, then Psychology has failed us by promoting normalcy over good sense and hard work. People are after all are just logic wrapped in skin with chemicals that make us feel all sorts of funny stuff (and some not so funny stuff). These are called emotions, and anyone who claims they are a scientist of emotions has failed us somewhere. Normalcy does not imply success nor does living your life to stop at mediocrity and ignore the problems around us in the world.

If the best solution we can provide (for the money since insurance companies would much rather pay for medication than psychotherapy), is to medicate a person who already has horrible checmical imbalances and no control over their emotions as it is, then perhaps we should reevaluate the way human beings are both diagnosed and treated since many highly functional persons are often placed in situations that require them to lose both their freedom, more of their sanity, sense of self worth, motivation, and ultimately life whether because of mortality or due to the lack of progress they've made as individuals as a direct consequence to treatment.

Neither Abnormal behavior, nor does behavior we don't understand, infer mental illness, despite the fact that instability CAN encourage abnormalities in human behavior. Everyone is different, and there is no text book that governs how we should behave or conduct ourselves in this world. If I don't like someone for example, I have every right and reason to be completely honest about that, and tell them why they suck. I also have a right to tell police officers to wash their cars as I did a few days ago.

Just because I'm a maniac, does not mean I'm wrong. Ultimately, we are only computers wrapped in skin and emotions. We can choose to allow logic to prevail in a way that would make our brains function at maximum efficiency to set goals and be productive, or we can choose to let life get to us by letting the very things that make us wonderful and great people (emotions) get in the way.

Well Frankenstien would have been ok if that nimwit had not picked the 'abby normal' brain.

Logical Answer and Correct Answer are not always the same thing. Logic can be used to justify every course of action.

Logical Answer and Correct Answer are not always the same thing. Logic can be used to justify every course of action.

Regardless, when logic is used to determine an action and the mind is used to execute the action, as long as the ambition and motive behind that action were sound and for the benefit of building up others, creating, or building yourself up without hurting anyone else, that logic is then justified.

I could see Stalin using that same logic to justify the mass murdering of all people seen as not loyal to his socialist cause. His ambition and motives were for the benefit of man kind.

The Ends do not justify the means. Logic along is not sufficient to plan a course of action or a life.

You could see him "trying" to use that logic, but that wouldn't really be logical at all. That would be under the pretense that he knew the solution, and no one else did. This is vastly selfishness, and unwilling to be open minded enough to allow other viewpoints. Aside from that, this logic by my very definition can never imply murder for the greater Good or not. That is what Wars are for.

I forgot to add (and currently am unable to edit my last post until it is approved) that regarding mental health, have you ever found it curious that most people hear demons or see them? That's a really bizarre coincidence. Just bizarre enough to maybe think that Schizo's are the sane ones that know truth in this world, and their truth is destroyed and distorted by chemicals, control, and the inability to apply their talents to be helpful to other people who see things so narrowly within very specific parameters.

You have to admit. If someone like myself, just went on yacking about God, that would be the last thing you'd probably want to talk about. Personally, I can't think of a more appropriate topic for these times, but most people are uncomfortable and unwilling to talk about such things. Because of this, we're in the midst of a spiritual awakening that not everyone understands or has the answer too.

We've all had this feeling of impending doom. Maybe not all of us but most. We know the end is coming. We just refuse to acknowledge anything but our own goals, dreams, hopes and desires even if the motives and intentions are good. We think we are good people for working 40 hours a week, paying our taxes and contributing to society. Settling for mediocrity when you are a talented person, and wanting to do nothing more with your life, because you have some false sense of "making it" hardly makes you a good person. If anything it makes you selfish and lazy and unwilling to commit to change.

No one votes for 3rd parties because they feel it's a wasted vote. (I know some people vote for 3rd parties, I'm just making a point). No one confronts police officers because they fear their freedom will be taken away. No one tries to change anything, because they think not enough people will be there to help them out. No one tries to find these people, because they are discouraged and feel that they are alone in wanting to do good things in the universe.

Because of these predispositions we will never move forward as a species, find God, or have eternal life.

Until we are willing to let loose our prejudices, pre dispositions, and bad feelings against other good people in the world with different beliefs, we will not be able to find anything, but what our eyes can see tangibly.
