It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

i see "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society"-type rhetoric pretty often and its the sort of sentiment that seems reasonable on its face but i think dissolves into incoherence when you really engage with it? the history of humanity is profoundly sick societies. i dont think ive ever read about a society and been like "man, this society is really healthy". societies are deeply dysfunctional! to the extent that a concept of a society is built around the examples of societies that have existed, they are profoundly unjust and filled with weird neuroses and encourage violent or self-destructive behavior. so the only coherent reading of a quote like this must be, "it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a society". which its a position you can have! but only if youre like. a weird monk type

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Jiddu Krishnamurti

[chryso-poeia]

Chances are (unless you’ve conscious intent to harm the person), that if they dislike you, they want you to be ’as well adjusted’ to a profoundly sick society as they are, so they don’t have to be triggered by the fact that you’re not, and consequently confronted by their own reflection through you. As it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to disorder, dysfunction or depravity.

how is Strong Sense Of Justice a pathologised trait. you’re telling me that the neurotypical-oriented hypocrisy of late capitalist neoliberal culture regarding genocide is somehow Normal. that continuing to live life as usual and pretend everything is fine is the Mentally Healthy way to behave. that famous quote by krishnamurti, “it is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society”, has never rang more true than now. we scream and scream and it falls on plugged ears

there's a transformation with death

which we have not seen -

the light shall pour out of me.

for a vision the screen turns on

and we get no news,

just porn stars with commentaries.

it can be observed that daily it storms

so often it's only within -

or so it occurs, connections do get made

and here we add the cosmos - requires no broom

as the growths they loud gather, if only to be swept away.

it's not that unwieldy but they grasp and they grasp

for warmth of stuffing themselves, it turns even a poem

to an obesity of disease forever with complete chemicals

and even in death you can not part, oh so many all the same

these malnamed atrocities.

the people they rejoice and cry in their unfollowed lords

in their lives, what does one think is recognized

with will

so supremely

“What we call ‘normal’, is really a psycho-pathology of the average. It’s so widespread we don’t even notice it.” – Abraham Maslow

“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - often attributed to Krishnamurti

goddddd the way every conversation between undine and kokoro is the exact same “they have trauma and anxiety but they’re gonna get a good grade in therapy” routine. The therapy talk is just boring but also it just feels repetitive without really adding anything new to their characters or the plot

and because of this, the story just grinds to a halt whenever they start talking which is. not a good thing to say about the MAIN CHARACTERS

If your story is at its best when it’s not about the main characters, then you fucked up somewhere real bad.

Even therapy talk can be tolerable when the characters are talking about it in relationship to the main plot or core themes. For example, the idol industry, capitalism, and child labor/soldiers: these can all be made more mundane, and can be interesting things to talk about! But their personal problems have no relation to the work’s core themes. Kokoro, babygirl, I could not give less of a shit about your dad.

I’m reminded of a book called doll bones, which I remembered loving for the creepy ghost story. I reread it recently, and was disappointed to realize major chunks of the novel were characters being afraid to grow up and arguing about it, when the creepy ghost story was truly the better story.

Mary’s comic is about healing, but there can be no true healing in a system that condones your death. Her characters will never heal from their anxiety, and neither will she, because it is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

I had no idea there were so many sleepless domain haters on tumblr. My comrades in arms, we should start a union. Or at least a new tumblr tag so we don’t clog up the notifs of people who actually enjoy sleepless. Any suggestions?

EDIT: The tag is now "insomnia queendom"!

EDIT 2: another main theme in this comic is death and depression, and SD's adamant refusal to discuss the relationship both the mains have with death is the story's central weakness.

"Pain travels through families until someone is ready to feel it." -Stephi Wagner

For many of us, our generational "curse" is avoidance. We come from people who just act like “it” didn't/doesn't happen. But pain demands to be felt. And somewhere along the line, a child will be born whose charge it is to feel it all. These are your shamans, your priests and priestesses, your healers. You call them mental health patients and label their power as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and the like. But these are the ones who are born with the gift of Feeling. And as we all know, you can't heal the pain that you refuse to feel.
