Absolutely, John. I suppose I was trying to say
something along these lines when I suggested that,
as a rule, the truth can only ever be captured in
paradoxes.
The pensioner who doesn't, for example, share
the fifteen year old's fury at the sight of injustice
is emotionally dead. But he can't go on in that
frame of mind if he wants to do something realistic
about making things a little better.
Regression doesn't even need the stimulus of strong
emotion. Now in my eighth decade, I find after
the morning shower that I reach instinctively for
my school cap & satchel, trying to remember is
it first hour Latin, Trig or European History.
By the time I reach the consulting room, of course,
I've usually managed to hang up the cap & don
my grandpa mask.
Scottie B.
