Of course we all know, there's no rabbit in the clouds. It's your mind playing tricks on you, trying constantly to organize everything around it into meaningful patterns. And it's funny when you set that automatic part of your mind onto something that has no pattern , that is totally random ... like clouds ... what does that cloud look like ?
Life is like that too. A stream of events. People interacting , talking , fighting , misunderstanding. Throw in government agencies and over eager bureaucrats that will actively lie to you (just met one the other day when I was applying for retraining) , and life might as well just be a random stream of events.
Like looking for rabbits in the clouds.
And it's a fun game to see what kind of patterns emerge from trying to impose order and meaning onto something that has neither. The most bizzare things pop out and you cannot help but laugh at them.
Until one day you realize that you may understand it's all a game your mind is playing on you , but not everyone around you does.
That would be when your friend, who's been a little off , a little too deep into the conspiracy theories for years, runs into a stream of bad luck. And then one day blythly informs you that you are a secret agent of some sort working for the goverment to interfere in his marriage.
Wow...what a pretty bunny rabbit you found. That is totally bizzare, and yes , it's perfectly defensible, the string of events could be interperted to mean that, with just a little imagination.
Except for the part where the mystery government agency has neglected to send me any paychecks.
And you realize he doesn't think it's all a game , or doesn't realize (or accept) it's just your mind playing tricks on you . It's a random stream of events, your mind is going to produce random results. It means nothing, there is no order to be deduced. There is no pattern there no matter what you see.
I wonder sometimes , if we're all doomed to go crazy. To see patterns where there are none , and come to believe in some vast conspiracy where powerful government agencies and other groups are for unspeciied reasons concearned with the comings and goings of unimportant no bodies such as ourselves.
The only pattern I see is randomness. Or perhaps a complexity so vast it is beyond prediction by anyone and thus is close enough to randomness that you might as well just call it that.
And I think it's a cool game to let your mind chew on this randomness and see what outragous results you can come out with. But other people are doing the same thing ... and they're not playing a game.
They seem to think it's for real.
Goodbye Rich Dude. I know why you do what you do , but you've locked the keys inside of you , and there's no way for anyone to let you out back into the sunshine. All we can do is not be there when you decide to take the next step and "defend" yourself against phantom attackers by becoming violent. As it seems is the fate of most people who wear your shoes.
Goodbye.
Paranoid schizophrenia
Positive symptoms
Positive symptoms are symptoms that indicate the presence of unusual thoughts and perceptions that often involve a loss of contact with reality. Delusions and hallucinations are considered positive symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia.
* Delusions. In paranoid schizophrenia, delusions are often focused on the perception that you're being singled out for harm. Your brain misinterprets experiences and you hold on to these false beliefs despite evidence to the contrary. For instance, you may believe that the government is monitoring every move you make or that a co-worker is poisoning your lunch. You may also have delusions of grandeur — the belief that you can fly, that you're famous or that you have a relationship with a famous person, for example. Delusions can result in aggression or violence if you believe you must act in self-defense against those who want to harm you.
