On the Absurdity of Analysing “Past” Events.


On the Absurdity of Analysing “Past” Events

 

Nothing can be learned from the analysis of memories, with one exception: An insight into one’s current subjective prejudices which come into play in the personal mythologisation of a set of scattered mental images, unheard sounds, and other imagined sensations into a “cohesive” fiction known as “My Life”.

 

In this sense, the one who is asked to refer to any definition of his or herself by which he or she should be compelled to use Memory would best meet the criteria for Sanity should he or she NOT produce a cohesive narrative but a scattered “mess” of apparently unassociated phrases that lack any kind of traditionally accepted narrative structure.
