they want to love desperately. they are dr moreau and they make creatures to love them, but i still dont see socipathic traits in them. in their mindset its difficult to see the harshness of their attitude. i think they are more dumb and sentimental than really sociopathic. see this for example

>because there's no reason why an animal would be incapable of love, empathy, and spirituality.
see how he unconsciously omit all the intellect and rational differences with animals, which is precisely the basis of our power over them. they are totally sentimental, they are people who dont want to know the harsh intellectual power they use over them. they are so secure of that power that they permit themselves talk about love and spirituality in animals.

its sad to see how people are judging themselves and taking with total seriousness sacralized notions of behaviour sanity and mental sanity that a bunch of scientists put in them.
people saying happily and almost proudly, that they are bipolars. its sad, and a little pathetic. like seeing someone voluntarily enter in a closed box.
i tend to think this glorification of psychiatry go almost always with a renunciation of self-knowledge. renunciation of seeing your own mind like something complex and personal.
but they dont gonna accept their stupidity anyway, they are happily dancing with the notions of "mental sanity" that daddy science told to them.

v?

i finish my "novella" and i dont want to be part of any publisher house. and im too timid to just throwing it out to any site. someone have some advice?.

Trying to flesh out an idea for a novel, but I'm having a hard time focusing my themes and building the characters.

People who write: do you have the overlay of the plot in your mind before setting out to write it, or do you wing it as it goes?
