oh, and
>>9... the definition to the word decadence:
–noun
1. the act or process of falling into an inferior condition or state; deterioration; decay: Some historians hold that the fall of Rome can be attributed to internal decadence.
2. moral degeneration or decay; turpitude.
3. unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence.
Now apply that definition to all the aforementioned, are you over-indulgent in those areas? I don't require an answer, I'm just a /sci/posster posting a question. If the answer pertains to yourself or your mental fortitude, it's a question for you to ask yourself at your behest, but really, who am I to judge? Like I'm not just as vulnerable to what I state? Pff, how do you think I came up with the idea? I remember not being able to cope with the loss of my grandmother and father. I have some serious seperation anxieties and apprehention to changes in environment. It was my uncle that gave me the idea of loss and change being part of a human cycle of grief that I may be experiencing or will experience later on as a result of change. Perhaps for some (including myself) this change is so painful that grieving then coping just isn't a possibility. Denying and escaping the pain seems to be our coping mechanisms, perhaps. The evidence is still inconclusive without further testing, but I'm working on the research materials right now before I begin testing on my cousin. She has some of the similar aspects that I share with a healthy dose of asperger's syndrome. I'm hopeful that this idea will eventually lead into the right direction even if it isn't the precise or correct direction right now. Who knows?
