Retardation Of Perception

Ah Yes. I Now Have Another Probable Theory To Prove For My Final Year Thesis: That Perception Is Like Religion; Disagree Openly And People Call You A Heretic/Retard. Great Sigmund Freud Sure Came Up With A Damn Good Theory When He Thought Of Defence Mechanisms.

No Doubt Psychology Is Easily Misunderstood, But Never Attacked Save By Me, The Sole Retard (My Apologies To All Innocent People With Small Time Misunderstandings For Dragging Y'all Into This).

First Off:
They Say (Or Rather, Insist) That Psychology Doesn't Teach Lies In The Name Of Mental Well-Being, So Fine, They Don't; They Just Ignore The Terrible Truth And Embrace The Beautiful One. So What Is Calling Depressive Thoughts 'Cognitive Distortion' And Changing Them Into Less Depressing Thoughts? Truth Isn't About Being Optimistic Or Pessimistic; It's About being Realistic, To See Things As A Whole, For What They Are. Point Being, Ignore One Side Of The Truth And It's As Good As Ignoring The Whole Truth, Which Is As Bad As Lying. So What? If Someone's Entire Family Just Got Massacred And He Thinks "How Am I Going To Live On From Now?" And Someone Else Just Throws "That's A Cognitive Distortion You Got There" Into His Face? Whatever Happened To Empathy? *Plays 'Spokesman' By 'Goldfinger'*

Secondly, A Note Of Clarification:
Yes, Psychology NEVER DENIES A Problem. It's About Denying The Dark Side Of A Problem, That It's Gonna Impair Life, And Then Focusing On The Bright Side That Is To Solve It. And These Two -Denying The Problem AND Denying The Dark Side Of A Problem- Are NOT The Same! Not Even Similar! And People Just HAVE To Project Their Misunderstanding Onto Other People And Claim That They're Setting The Facts Straight. So What? People With A Cognitive Distortion Comes Seeking Your Counseling And You Call Them A Retard With A Skewed Perspective And Set The Facts Straight In Their Face!? Clearly That Lacks Some Unconditional Positive Regard, No?

Ah, Once Again This Victorless Battlefield Has Left Me in Despair.

I'm No Freudian, But I Highly Regard His Theory On Defence Mechanisms So Please, People. Don't Be A Zealot And Go Projecting Your Own Lack Of Openness Onto Others Like How Great Freud Himself Did.

Adieu To Y'all. Fan The Flames If You Must, For This Is A Battle Of No Winners.
