myth is probabily not the best term ... they are based on long standing truths ... religions are myths ... believe in god is a myth ... even our form of government is based on myth ... it is ideas that have stood the test of time that relates directly to the human experience ... the human struggle ... born out of centuries and mellinums of time...

no , IMO , mental illnes is defined as outside of the cultural norm ... in many ancient cultures they were accepted and even revered as shammn or mystical practisoners .... those endowed with (all) the human essence ... wider and more sensitive emotions and moods ... hearing voices that only spoke to them ... seeing what only they could ... traveling thur the universe while leaving their bodies behind ... and many sought them out to answer questions no one else could answer ...

we have a culture that does not allow thinking outside the box ... even here I bet many are disagreeing with my definition of a myth ... ect ...

if we can not accept the differences we all have , that we believe differently and that we express ourselves differently , then how can we expect them too .... how can we ever expect it to change. ... Tigger

ps: I am labeled as MI , I do take meds , they do limit my (full humanity) ... I will never be "everything" I could be left totally untreated ... and my family is thankful for that ...

I have no idea why but I felt compelled to write this ... I just had too ... I am not sure why ... it is and was not my intention to upset anyone here ... I really do love you guys ... one and all ...
