Catharsis On The Rocks

Tweet

When does catharsis happen? Everytime you express yourself. Now, the beneficial effect of catharsis is obviously limited when you talk about the weather, but it’s still there. The objective of catharsis is to know and understand yourself better, and by talking about the weather we show that person that we have little interest in him/her, which sets of a series of questions why we don´t like the person, what makes us different, and so on. Catharsis is about listening to yourself, which you can either do in meditation or prayer, or when talking to somebody else, or even a group of people as in myLot. Every word we utter, no important how irrelevant it seems, is a statement about ourselves. I was told yesterday here that I might have some serious issues, and it really made my day, because it was the ONLY time I laughed yesterday. No reflection meant on the person who said it, if you’d see the post she responded to, you’d understand. But this is as well about provocation (not the nasty kind, I don’t need that.) But let’s leave the mold we are in, write something out of the ordinary, make ourselves and others reflect. Do I have some serious issues? Of course I do, I’m a healthy, 50-year-old human being, and if I didn’t have them I would be dead, at least in a spiritual and psychic sense. Truth Or Fiction?
