Looking at the kind of image the world is, is it a state of mind? It must be since our minds are strong in producing events, emotions, images, illusions, reality and ourselves as a whole. Thinking we know the brain is still too much to say. We are scared of the brain and what it produces, make us do consciously and unconsciously. In this thought it is always a surprise how unknown our brain is, how we think we know it. Its functions are incomprehensible to the most of us. To believe in lasting healing effect of psychotherapy, psychology and psychiatry is quite new that we are somewhat lost with this knowledge we have managed to find out that we can be and get emotionally damaged and those damages can be mended with care, not with punishments and rejection. What is damage then when mind is concerned? What is crazy and how do we deal with the burdening messes life deals us? To live a protected life is known to make people more scared of life and new experiences than having lived life which sends you against all there may be, which is a lot. A protected life where you live wrapped in soft package and where all your needs are met, it may mean you do not have to take responsibility and anything outside that package is dark and frightening, odd, filthy and suspicious, damaging. Those who provide this numbing package fail to understand that life is not inside a package, inside a bubble and nobody can not be protected from harm. Over-protection becomes the harm in the end making people separate, hateful against those who differ, privileged easily harmed to whom growing up means something other than spiritual and mental growth. To experience toughness and torment have got other kind of meaning for those who have been sheltered all their lives. Priced entitlement is seen as something they deserve and a right to have. It is no surprise that falling down the ladder, depression and anxiety over minuscule issues, arguments and disagreeing, are difficult to understand fully, endure and live through.
Tormenting hatefully someone because of a differing opinion, point of view, lifestyle, background etc. in social media, on campuses reflect the crowd of overprotected ignorant people who take justice into their own hands and act upon a heat of the moment because they are on the right side against all evil. Not having thought things all the way shines through, things like what is right and what kind of argument is valid, what kind of information and conversation is wanted and needed. There obviously are psyches more valuable that others as psyches of refugees and victims of war for example are at great risk, psyches of women who experience sexual harassment throughout all their lives etc, how do they cope? What are survival methods for these people one can ask and how can an overprotected bun learn from people who truly have been mentally tormented? This in comparison to idea of how protected we should feel and what is a safe place? There is no such thing and if there is there is something wrong. Mental health viewed in a way that there is something as a good nice vibe around fun-loving healthy people dancing by the pool is a damaged goal and flawed perspective to good life. To be healthy means all kinds of feeling can exist, can be addressed and talked about, those negative as well as they do clearly exist. It means there is a tolerant and open environment to address difficult all concerning issues which sexuality and mental health clearly are
