I don't see how "state of mind" is substantially different from "motive," nor
how "psychosis" is substantially different from "neurosis" in our discussion
(I know that in psy. terms a psychois is worse than a neurosis, but that's
irrelevant. They're both indicators that something is Wrong).
But, beyond all this, isn't really frustrating being misunderstood? Hard for
me to pity you, though, given the circumstances. And I've repeated myself a
lot more than you have had to.
I still accept my share of the responsibility for being misunderstood,
however, because it is a hot topic and I wasn't careful enough setting out my
claims -- about Seymour :)
