Hi, No -
(this thing has timed out twice so I'm rushing to get it typed)
Used to bug me, too.
Every time I heard it. Or read it.
One thing an oldtimer told me was to have a dictionary handy when reading the BB. Check out 'incomprehensible demoralization' sometime. Blew me away when I did it.
They talked different back then. Just watch an old movie and see what I mean.
Eventually, I realized that, back then (1937) you were pretty much 'insane' or 'not insane'. Black or white. Not a lot of grey in there.
I think it's brilliant they (Bill and the doc & them) intuited the presence of ADHD, PTSD, Multiple personality disorder, and so many other forms of psychological injury from abuse trauma ... years/decades before medicine even 'discovered' them.
Or - maybe Whomever wrote that book through them knew it'd be necessary to include.
The tools we take for granted through modern medicine today were not available back then. Undiagnosed PTSD is exactly that =- a constitutional inablility to see the truth.
It's what your personality is hiding. Trauma.
Back then, indoor plumbing was a fairly techno asset.
Great topic - I'm curious what gets shared!
thanks -
