You know I rarely link. But there’s something cruising through them internets that I thought would be so very appropriate for this site. It’s a cartoon describing schizophrenia, and it’s quite striking. Part of a book the author has posted on his site. Our friend Strawberry once described Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” as a metaphor for the sick, and the stigma of illness. For sure, mental illness is ugly, even to many of the most compassionate eyes. Hopefully more works like this author is creating will enlighten the masses, and people like me won’t have to be anonymous when describing their history of it, because of what people might think. Who have people close to them not understand what they’ve been through. One can always hope that things will change for the better. Not because we deserve it, or any such moral imperative — just because the time has come.
