THE MEDIUM

  I've seen so many demonstrations of Oppositional Defiance Disorder in the past few days........at every conceivable level of human interactions.......Perhaps this is De Rerum Natura.....Thousands of years ago, Thinkers and Philosophers, and what would later be designated "Psychologists", pondered the seemingly timeless condition of "things that 'live'"......why humans are contentious, the assumption that 'might makes right', our reluctance to accept ethical responsibility, logical and sensible morality... even questionings about "whether or not we really 'exist'", rather than our presumptive dealing with the problematic scenarios within which we certainly do.....We struggle, because we don't know who we are, or are willing to reveal, and thus 'cloak', the 'id-ness' that lurks, thinly disguised beneath our Superego's need to be loved, coddled, reinforced, 'believed' and admired......locking
