I remember when one of the American presidential candidates said 'Whoo Ha' or something to that effect, while on his campaign trail. The story and video clip was played on every major news outlet for days and he had to drop out of the race for showing too much excitement. I was recently terminated from a 2 day job as a doctor for extreme enthusiasm. It was in a psych hospital. They accused me of possibly being bipolar. Jeez Louise. I had just had a break through in my understanding of how to perfect the craft of writing and was filled with exuberance. I can only imagine, after reading many of your posts and your interpretations of your journey, how elated you must be to have found yourself and discovered your calling as a writer. America is a sick, sick country and uses therapists to keep it sick. Condemnation of artists and a lack of perspicacity for joy is typical and it's getting worse. I wish you the best in your journey and congratulations on your release.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
