Sorry this is late... I was eating human liver
First, my appologies for this one being a bit late. Second, awesome story this week. I think that it really shows the beauty of the human mind. At my job I deal with people that have mental orders such as delusions, and paranoia. So I have seen a person like this first hand. Our minds are a vast connection of neurons, millions and millions of tiny electrical connections that piece together the understanding we have of our world today. Not every person is connected the same. To this man the thought that people were eating other people and even he had done so, could be totaly logical to him. Basically to sum things up, while we may understand parts of people, our own minds are the only true thing that we can not conquer.

Wow thats really a positive way of looking at this story our minds are true objects that really can't be conquered. You definently take this to another level
ReplyDeleteSo, I was wondering then. Most of us don't have these issues (or at least not to the same degree as this guy and some of the people at your work). What is the differntiating factor? Have you seen anythings that stand out as being common among those with mental illnesses? I haven't really spent any significant time with a wide variety of people with these issues. So, I can't speak to this. I was just wondering.
ReplyDeleteA agree with ALONGSHOT, i think the way you view this story is unique and i have never really thought about the fact that minds cant be conquered, i think thats interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the responses! And to answer Mr. Tom, it would depend on how you look at it. Yet can we really define any differences, maybe in action yes, but in the minds thought process from person to person, I do not think so. We attempt to help individuals regulate chemical, and hormonal balances within their bodies, yet thoughts and the way we think, as much as we wish, can not be controlled.
