on occasion i have been known to read psychology articles. most of them have been pilfered from old magazines and all them have been known to leave me with a new psychological profile. i am suddenly exhibiting every conceivable nuance hinted at within the most recently read articles: obsessive-compulsive, add and adhd, all run rampantly through my days and every thought becomes analyzed to the n-th degree.
the only time i did not adhere to my base instincts of psychological mimicry was when an article mentioned a disorder in which a person exhibits a compulsion to write. this disorderly behavior has been known to be exhibited only during times of intense stress. the author of this article then went on to state that she herself began to exhibit this behavior, shortly after being diagnosed and medically treated for post-partum depression; another article has made mention that the entire human population, the entire society of humanity, is one giant ball of stress - so my next thought is: what constitutes "intense" stress? and have we become so convoluted in our interpretations, so abstract and banal, that we can no longer appreciate the muses? have we drifted so far away from the realm of creativity that rather than enjoying the thrall of outrageous spontaneity and dynamic conjecture we now prefer to medicate ourselves into mindless oblivion instead of basking in the glow of the muses?
