#nonrational

[solace-philosophy]

Psychology for the most part, has succumbed to a way of thinking that expects the rational to succeed and supplant what is nonrational in human psychological experience.

Psychology tends to see the nonrational as pre-rational - something that is not yet, but eventually will be, subject to cognition. It doees not know how to deal with the nonrational in and of itself, and so excludes it as a possibility.

Aspirations of Echoes

This place of quiet imbalance Resounds aspirations of echoes In a delicate state of immortal regret. He minds his time on one foot falling, no grip on the closing clock Trying to speak of nothing and nothing and nothing.
