What the fuck does "healthy" even mean? So many people value it, but, yet, can anyone define it?
Are we such creatures of media that our thoughts are truly not our own?
For example, what does “mental health” mean? Millennials, I’ve noticed, place a lot of faith in psychology. It is truly the modern religion. I, myself, actually married a psychologist back in the day, and one time my psychologist wife and I were sitting on the couch discussing her faith and she was talking about this guy who was in therapy for 12 years.
"So was he cured?" I asked her. "After all that time?"
And she just looked at me like I was crazy. “No,” she said.
"You mean after all that time they didn’t have a breakthrough and the guy was, you know, cured?"
"They had a lot of breakthroughs."
It was there and then that I realized that, today, the psychologist/psychiatrist is our priest. In the olden times, you were never completely cured of sin either.
Health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die, nothing more. It’s, at best, a physical thing.
Psychology, which views the human soul as a mechanistic/materialist construct, a machine, and approaches it as so, has also found a great way to make some cash: drugs! Everybody, it so happens, needs anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.
Anti this and anti that.
And they’re gulped down, too, like modern, 21st Century communion wafers.
*the Lord be with you*
Mental illness is often hard to define, but mental health is impossible to define, therefore the entire premise of the “science” of psychology is bullshit.
But media! And society! Everybody agrees that psychology is a real thing, an actual “medicine”, even though it hasn’t cured even one person of anything, nor restored even one single person to mental “health”, which, probably, doesn’t even exist.
Marx said religion is the opiate of the masses, but the funny thing is everybody thinks he was talking about Christianity.
LOL.
