I do think everyone is unique yes and indeed everyone has a talent.
Sorry I got off on the wrong foot with you.  |
I'm not a fan of the word retardation either though we may find the phrase learning disabled will change someday as well. And it is fine to use the word schizophrenia. It does exist. It seems to me to be a thought process or way of thinking whereas psychosis is more of an experience. It is very difficult to explain but I have both of these. I am coming into the understanding that there is a seperation within me between the two however I think one may exist within the other.
But now I'm just walking worlds in thought...it is a shaman thing. And that is another story.
No worries about the wrong foot thing...
