The process of maddening.

The origins of the imperative, "know thyself", are lost in the sands of time, but the age-old examination of human consciousness continues here.

The process of maddening.

Postby Gobbo » Tue Jul 12, 2011 8:57 pm

When one is first exposed to psychologically uneasy concepts emotions go from baseline, usually 'downward' into depression if the concepts persist; because of the influence of curiosity, pride, honor, and other things as well adding downward momentum, the concepts will often persist.

When in the depression setting the psychology of the human will attempt to interject comedy into the conscious in an attempt to transition it back towards the upper - happiness. The more one falls, the more the subconscious will attempt to lift - usually with laughter, or hedonism.

The plummet is madness.

Some are eventually lifted back up by the benefits of lurking emotion, such that they return to baseline. Others stay in their own perpetual gravity, spinning.

We can also extrapolate this the other way. Such that when happiness is abundant, the subconscious will find depressive instances to counterbalance an upward trend, lest the conscious take off from baseline all together into paralyzing bliss.

That ascent is... what?

Euphoria.

The balance is always pursued because of the initial impetus of PHT, Perception of Hopes and Threats that directs all decisions and behavior. And without which, life could not exist or persist.

The ascent is clarity. Euphoria goes along with madness very closely.

Perhaps this balance would be fairly called "contentment"
