Society needs psychology

[pljames]

Society need psychology because in the world there is (order and disorder). Consider thinking and belief and what is truth? All three of these words can be questioned. Is the unstabled (the disordered) mind rational or delusional (to a point)? What is the braking point for a person...and why? I have been disordered and delusional on drugs and worried to a point of paranoia.

How many people understand these symptoms as irrational or disorder? In there mind they are either worried or accept there condition as (Normal to them). I would summise that order is better then disorder. What's (normal) to you might not be normal to me and vice versa. Why do we allow outside stimuli to effect us emotionally? Thoughts please? pljames

Society needs psychology because people are just plain crazy.  That's just what it is.  LOL.  No but seriously,  in my opinion whether you have an order or disorder as you would call it, it's just a part of life.  But like I've always said to people I encourter with... "You have to be insane to stay sane."  It's a quote that keeps a lot of people going.  Because no matter what people go through, you have to know that it's going to be okay. 
I have no accurate answers for your questions because these are questions only you can answer.  These questions that you're asking depends are your limitations.  No bodies are the same, but the body, in my opinion, is not what is most important.  It's the soul.  Because we're not bodies with souls, we're souls with bodies.  However, just because the body is not the most important, doesn't mean we can't still take care of it, maintain it and love it.  Disorders or not, whatever it is you're feeling is normal.  All people have breaking points, all people have something wrong with them, we're all different, but somewhat the same.  It's just the matter of how you're handling it; it's a matter of whether you wanna get better and improve.  There's always room for improvement.  If you don't do anything about your conditions, you won't get anywhere and you'll just end up having more questions than answers. =)

Excellent reply. Well done. We observe and judge, if that person does not act a  certain way, they are weird or crazy. Society has dictated how we should behave and then make laws to obey. The general majority makes the rules by there mistakes and the law creates a behavior called normal/average. Anything outside these parameter is against the law. Feedback please pl

Hmm, that's a tough one.  Unfortunately, the law has to do what they think is right and it has to apply to everyone; however, there is a saying that goes "Just because it's not against the law, doesn't make it right."  The Law if not perfect, it is meant to be perfect, but it's not.  And of course the laws are meant prevent other people from getting hurt.  Unfortunately, sometimes the laws can unintensionally hurt people's feelings or pride.  That's the part where it is not perfect.  But who's to say there is such a word.  Perfect... there's no such thing.
Personally what you just described kinda reminded me of my family.  I'm what you call weird.  I'm a food artist in the mind of a future psychologist (going back to school for psychology).  I love food and experiment on different types of food; however, I'm also that person who listens to people's problems and like to analyze what they are going through, I guess you could call me as the voice of reason or whatever.  So, being an artist and having to think differently then other people and at the same time, being the sensitive one and having to know what people is thinking and feeling.  That can really mix together and can all go crazy once in a while.  So after saying some things that wouldn't make sense to some people because I worded out words in different ways that only a philosopher can only understand; well... I've been called weird from my family because of that.  I'm the black sheep of the family, the weird one, the wrong one, the one that fails to do anything with her life.  And because of that I tend to be left behind a lot with family get togethers, especially on holidays.   In my family, there's a behavior analysis of which you must act a certain way, if you don't act like the rest you may have to walk to plank for being weird; which in my case be left in the corner while the others mingle.  My family is the most stuck up people I know.  And it's like they're judging me the outcast because of it.  I do love my mother very very much, I think she's the least stuck up person out of all of them, but I still have to admit that she can be that sometimes, too.
So I understand how you can feel like you're being isolated by the law.  Frankly, you feel as if you have to act a certain way to fit in and you feel that you don't want to.  In majority, rules are what we make them and life is what you make it.  Don't worry about the law, just be yourself.  If you're not hurting anybody, you can still act like yourself and if people think of you as weird, then that's their problem, not yours.  Weird people has the most fun because we think outside the box.  We don't stay boxed in like "normal" people.  There is more to living, you also gotta live.

Excellent post. I to love philosophy and now psychology. This forum has taught me a lot about psycholohy and my thoughts. You are not weird you are just being you. I am learning, I want to think everyone is basically good Not so. I am reeling from finding out I am gullible nieve and believe a lie as the truth concerning the truth. It would seem we sometimes are delusional by our own choice. That's scary. I was one of these now I have to rethink why I do that.

I love this forum. pl
