THINKING IS A MENTAL DISEASE by Andrew Stergiou
Occasionally I get some inspiration but usually every day life can be very mundane in every day existence no matter how much we resist it, cause guess what no matter who, or what we are we eat, piss, sleep, and die.
Born into this life, millionaires, serial killers, retards, and regular working stiffs start off all the same, though from the get go they are afforded the same advantages.
Though superfluously we can qualify those many
diverse lives (and life styles) by saying that people are “not afforded” exactly the same advantages, we are all start of approximately the same, and rationalize that debate by use of many additional arguments:
Fairly within a sane world the facts speak for themselves they are not, and so: one must ask if in a democratic society can afford those radically divergent lives.
I can easily make an argument from within a corporate perspective that where the corporation is paramount in that the CEO can be over paid (as they are) none the less they are dependent on the abilities of those in their employ but that is a disingenuous argument.
By making such disingenuous unfair arguments I am no
better than the corporate world built upon the contrived paper trails of family stocks, bonds, and law, constitutional, statutory, administrative, and traditional implementations of policy that we can trace as if they were biblical genealogies.
In playing chess seriously there are merely two perspectives of playing chess, besides those of personal enjoyment of the game, the aesthetics, there are only issues of tactics and strategy.
Strategy in chess in the long term goal of winning (what ever that means), and tactics are the means by which we achieve those goals.
On a day to day basis we are constantly
bombarded by propaganda in the form of advertising that focuses on the tactics of living, not the final goal of the deeper meaning of what we call life.
Common place today the propaganda says drink, eat, sleep, lie, cheat, pray, believe, and be a phony, but in actually it is most shallow no matter how much it is dressed up to appear cute, tough, smart, intelligent, and hip, to the point where there is no correlation between what we see, hear, and say, and our real lives.
What suffices for “reality TV”, interviews of “real people”, the “real world”, a “real woman”, a “real man”, a “real education”, a “real job”, “ a “real family”, “ a “real pair of tits”, “real poetry”, “real
musicians”, “real hip” (generally what we see in every day) is all a sham except if it pertains to us, our families, our friends, our neighbors, our world, our planet.
I can not say that I am a fan, but instead think by the year 2007 that I am relevantly an extreme cynic of practical theoretical basis, founded in general application upon the facts:
Civilization has been mostly founded upon lies and deviance from what it normally self-sanctimoniously presents itself and there for exists as a social aberration. The cultural psychotic can present them selves on an equal footing the respectable family man, the billionaire, the executive, the cop, the priest, though in reality their
arguments are only acceptable within what are presumably different social circles.
Woman can present themselves as equal to man; poor illiterate can present themselves as equal to the educated middle classes, children can argue they are equals to adults, and conversely based on the arrogance of power the same can be said in return.
What a crock of shit (though “shit” is not a word that adequately conveys the problem in view) as it pertains to the tactical use of rhetoric it is merely an emotional expression of those who lose patience and tire of such arguments heard every day, day after day. Semantically legal arguments that fill the media, law books, books, newspapers, the
internet, TV, art reviews, government, corporations, conversation, life, and living, as same people subsist on the cliches of such arguments in which they have merely passively participated as spectators.
Perhaps the entire world should demonstrate in this life it has the ability to shut the propaganda off so as to send a message, as well as to prove to themselves that they can shut off such devices and separate themselves. Cough. Cough. I admit often I often inundate with media as it pertains to me as I work, or to my work itself, in the solitary confines of what amounts to a cell that perhaps I have all too much become accustomed to, as it is so much simpler than dealing with the world as a whole.
There is no sense of reality as young and old are affected
in a fog of delusions that extends from cradle to grave but which suffices for some as life that greatness has problems and is the demise of many that can be only pitied though I am constantly asked:
“What makes me feel I am so right and everyone else so wrong?
But that is twisted where critical facts are answered not by response on the matters of the facts but by questioning the integrity of theose who dare to ask the questions, calling a spade, a spade, by saying 1=1 and 1+1=2.
I do not have the pretensions of any fancy job and salary, and perhaps naively I have never aspired to such heights, though often I
have of desired to be empowered to do what I do on some grander scale greater than doing my own thing, at home alone. Such grandeur is unimportant though many aspire to such heights I imagine I have actively walked away from such opportunities as I found the desires egotistic evils, and the temptations strange and foreign manipulations.
Diagnosis of such issues can occur in many manners on both a personal and political social scale though ultimately such manifestations are not questions of “nature or nurture” but “nature and nurture” (not a question of “the chicken or the egg” but the chicken and the egg. Such gregarious erroneous clichés permeate or social use of language, they are common, and in that case vulgar and obscene of little or no value, as at best they serve to convey in shorthand greater ideas that should be
dwelled upon and properly discussed not given short shrift.
Human language is often conveyed by use of commonality, where there are certain accepted aspects of convention that can be weighed in technical, societal, and social importance by being placed on a scale of one to ten, where both stereotypes, and individuality have played no small part.
On one hand most people get depressed, most people have anxieties, most people have fears, in what communal is diagnosed every day by health professionals, and because of that fact that: most people get depressed, most people have anxieties, most people have fears, many
state that psychology is baseless.
On the other hand in that we are bombarded by information, in blatant or passive forms of propaganda

So the question is how should these be addressed as for many that question is not adequately addressed but glossed over and ignored, as that is why we have social ills and emotional problems alike.
Though often parents and society state they are concerned where the individual can not
perceive the problem, harping on how much inconvenience and trouble they go to “help”, on an individual personal and social level, the individual is more concerned than others because they are the ones affected, though individuals are is not empowered to cure such distinctions.
Individuals can not function for many reasons; many are in personal denial of such dysfunctionality in their lives, while others are in denial of how much they act in callous indifference to others’ problems. Merely because it is so difficult to handle and cope with others,
and because in giving we deprive ourselves of what we may need, and which in extreme cases may cause our own deaths we don’t. If people give for others without regard to themselves they are called saints and heroes, but to call everyone a saint or a hero is to demean use of those words.
In actuality astute psychologists and mental health workers recognize this and refer to the statistical basis of weither behavior is considered (or not) a social norm, but that only occurs where a society has a norm that reasonably they maintain weither or not there is reason to do so.
In the deeper meanings of life there are no easy answers and most could not be found dwelling on such thoughts,
but in every day life those deeper meanings affect everyone, everything. What actually exists is a failure to communicate, in what exists as an inability to communicate, and we tend to act on and not communicate, in dysfunctional use of language, in a society demeaned every day by corrupted use and practice of language.
So why there any wonder that the world is so screwed up?
Why are we constantly told (or not) what to do, how to do it, and why?
The answer is simple because that is the fabric that hold society, fortunes and wealth, families, corporations together, simply the bullshit that no one wants to hear
in that fact that they are liars, society often is a lie.
Have I said people stop the world to get off, or they should or should not, could or could not be responsible? Now way, for that is the way of the intellect, the logic it produces, and the society it manifests, the reasons to act at times, the bottom-line being is that ultimately it is the lack of leadership. In what is said to be leadership, in a failure of leadership, of leaders of whom a price should be exacted but instead rewarded as they are the ones pulling the strings in a double standard they talk the world out of, and deprive it of real meaning and justice contrived in what makes little sense.
