My psych says that psychiatry is trying to flatline the world.
I went to church today in Hanoi.
I don't know what it was (maybe a mixture of awe, respect, contempt?).
The service was very high church as it is here, with many young people, most of it sung.
It was very moving and I wept.Didn't Walt Whitman say 'I contain multitudes'?
Why should our response to this wonderous world not be complex?So what would they do with the authors of Ecclesiastes and Job?
I'm reminded of the samizdat author who called himself 'The Saigonian', who said of the party
'Please do not embarrass yourselves. Conduct your cult on a shrine on a country road' or something like that.Radical acceptance?
I'd like to be better at that; I'd like to be able.
