If you question
something, are you nutz?
Really,
if you question authority, does that mean or imply you are mentally ill or in
some need of psychological intervention or are only sheeple the sane ones.
There has to be a baseline set for determining whether or not your actions are
reasonable or even logical under most circumstances.
We
have arrived at a point where the mental health profession has reached new
lengths of determining your psychological status. Relying the newest issue of
the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM for
short) defined a new mental illness, the so-called “oppositional defiant
disorder” or ODD.
What
this essentially says that whenever I oppose something with a declaration of
opposition to what is being said or written, I am questioning authority and
therefore a form or state of insanity. ODD is described as an ongoing
[habitual] “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant
behavior,” symptoms include questioning authority, negativity, defiance,
argumentativeness, and being easily annoyed.
Using
those exact words to describe my own behaviors – I am nutz and only those who
follow, conform, or never question directions or leadership orders are sane or
well-balanced in their mindset. One would make us think that we are the problem
and not those who mere accept whatever it is spoon fed by authority, media or
other sources.
Maybe
it’s my paranoia or my wasteful ways of thinking but it seems like every so
often, most likely two or three years, the mental health profession comes up
with another diagnosis that suits the need of government to put you away and
claim your mindset is either threatening, incorrigible or dangerous to society.
