on certainty 73

73. But what is the difference between a mistake and a mental disturbance? Or what is the difference between my treating it as a mistake and my treating it as a mental disturbance?

first up there are no mistakes –

what we face at every turn is –

uncertainty

as to ‘mental disturbance’ –

it’s a description of someone’s behaviour –

which like any other description-

is open to question –

open to doubt

we should perhaps note here –

that it is a description

that has been used prejudicially

against those who are different –

by those who do not –

or cannot tolerate

difference
