Senor Raul,
Thank you for your message.A very thoughtful message indeed. I think,if I were to generalise, I'd say that there are two,interrelated things,that are common to all the members of this forum. First, our repression mechanisms are not working properly. If they were, we would not be spending so much time writing and reading here but would be doing what most of the repressed people tend to do-chasing the dollar, the next promotion and the skirt.
Second and this is very much related to my first point, when we were babies ,we must have been treated abysmally by our guardians. You have been kind enough to share about your own struggles and I saw a lot of domestic violence as a baby and was myself at the receiving end of it as a child.
So, in a way,our tormentors,though quite unwittingly, destroyed any repression mechanism we might have developed.
On the plus side we glimpse the truth ,unlike the bien pensant.However, there is a price to be paid for our knowledge.
Each of us, I would guess, suffers a great deal more than the bien pensant,by way of panic and anxiety attacks.
That's the deal ,you see. One wants the truth? Well,maddening panic and crippling anxiety is the integral part of the package.
We did not, I,did not make myself, did not design who I would turn out to be as an adult. Daily and ,I must add, nightly, scenes of domestic violence, blew in smithereens, any tentative ,baby-like repression mechanisms my mind might have been striving to build decades back.So,when I look at the world around me, I see blood and gore, I call a spade a spade. Not like the folks with a million and one repression mechanisms.
But I make payment to Mephistopheles with my intense panic attacks.In the world I see -marriage and babies make no sense.They don't fit into the paradigm of truth.The glimpse of truth, as you know yourself as a fellow seer, is not free, it is earned with the blood of one's heart and the peace of one's mind.
Take care ,Senor Raul,I hear that rioting is taking place in Chile.Stay safe.
