NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE

Hello:

On more than one occasion I have mentioned that when it comes to this internet technology, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. This next story proves that comment in spades. 

When I first started writing a blog and joined google+ I would check my email to see if anyone was responding to my posts.   I never saw any such responses.

Recently I decided to click unto the icons for social media at the top of my email inbox page. There I became aware that many people had responded to my Posts or comments without me realizing it. Please accept my apology for failing to understand that I should have accessed the social media icons long ago.

If any of you are willing to do so, I would be more than pleased to answer any of your questions or comments about previous Posts that I have entered.

GENETICS CAN BE A KILLER

Hello:

While the best method is to face the truth, if that truth is itself false, then the side effects of such a situation can indeed by catastrophic. 

Unfortunately the psychological community is giving far too much credence to the belief that most if not all mental illness is genetic in nature; when in reality, in most cases it is nurture or in other words, a behavioral problem that can be corrected.

In  my book about the Human Mind, I  mention that the current psychological beliefs have caused many suicides and other tragic events to occur.   One other aspect of this situation is tragic also.

The psychological community doesn't seem to realize what the end result of their error is.  With those thought in mind, it is my firm belief that the genetic factor might be the most egregious one of them all.   

One young  man who was diagnosed as being bi-polar, became invovled with a young woman who wanted to become a mother.   He said that he did not want to bring a new life into existence if that child inherited his genetic profile.

Subsequently they broke up and eventually with many other stressful ideas piling up inside his mind, this young man committed suicide.   When I told this story to another "intelligent" friend of mine, he agreed whole heartedly that the young man was right not to risk becoming a father.

I have emphatically proven that in most cases these problems are all negotiable and choosing suicide would not be so readily anticipated if the prevailing beliefs in psychiatry mirrored my own.  

When the accepted beliefs of any individual or community at large are in conflict with reality, untold anguish including death can be the result.  How much longer must  this go on???
