Freeing words from mostly negative connotations is also a lofty thing to do, I'd say. Though I feel a bit like Ayn Rand now, but that's not all bad. We shouldn't lose ourselves in looking after others.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
