RE: [Short Story] - Psychoanalyst
I was offput by the usage of psychoanalyst ‘til I realize American Psychoanalysts are in name that but really ego-psychologists trying to “cure” someone to a “normal” behaviour. And our lil’ detainee gave probably the best slips of the tongue that our ego-psychologist would never be able to piece together when trying to “cure” him. They God to honest should’ve left it to the Lacanians to pick his brain out.
What grinds my gears is the term "normal".
What is normal?
Doing what the majority does? That's average, not normal.
There is no "right" way to define normal by any means, especially when in our heads we all believe we're normal. We all believe we're always doing the "right" things.
What's "right" and "wrong", and what's "normal" is nothing but a social construct... That I absolutely hate.
Tell it to the preacher, brotha’.
