Dell, schizophrenic is probably a good way to describe it. I think the images are primarily depressive in nature. The opening sentences came to me as I was driving across the Causeway bridge and seeing the clouds in the distance build up. <br /> In regards to your question about the previous post, I think our brain has definitely evolved to 'believe' certain things and to act on them quickly. for day to day survival in primitive conditions, emotions are certainly more important than intellect. Intellect is a late comer on the scene.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-74466001393602211652013-08-27T09:41:48.361-05:002013-08-27T09:41:48.361-05:00one never knows...one never knows...laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-54174975788420786822013-08-27T08:59:54.866-05:002013-08-27T08:59:54.866-05:00Excellent writing, per usual, Charles.

But when reading this paragraph, the word 'schizophrenia' enters my head, for some reason.<br /><br />I guess that's one of the most endearing characteristics of fiction. It isn't real. <br /><br />It brings to mind a post you did some years ago about character dialogue. Can't recall it verbatim, but the gist of it was that good dialogue wasn't necessarily real, but instead realistic. <br /><br />The paragraph here is something that I can see as realistic, but not as real. If I did, I would have series mental issues, huh.<br /><br />How I envy you headed into the next new semester. Have a fun one.<br /><br />As for the previous post, I was wondering what evolutionary insights might yield in terms of how mankind forms in-groups and otherness. X.
