Here is the Philosophy thread for all things philosophy. I feel as if people with many mental illnesses including schizophrenia philosophize.
To start off...here is my favorite excerpt from my favorite philosopher:
Jean-Paul Sartre: Book "
Existentialism and Human Emotions":
Quote:
|
This young fellow might well have felt that he had botched everything. It was a sign of something but of what? He might have taken refuge in bitterness or despair. But he very wisely looked upon all this as a sign that he was not made for secular triumphs and that only the triumphs of religion - holiness - and faith were open to him. He saw the hand of God in all this and so entered the order.
