"“We've been much more like someone divinely distracted and self-absorbed into whose ear the clock has just peeled the twelve strokes of noon with all its force and who all at once wakes up and asks himself "What exactly did that clock strike?"—so we rub ourselves behind the ears afterwards and ask, totally surprised and embarrassed "What have we really just experienced? And more: "Who are we really?"" -Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals

The following text is Sleep and Night by Rumi. The wording written in blue is by Rumi and purple is additional wording by me. An eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy. A head has one use: For loving a true love. Feet: To chase after. A heart uses it’s energy for overlooking the struggles. The hands are for comforting the glanced over pain. Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do. The spine bends for flexibility which rests on a relationship, Twists and recoils for becoming what it once was. Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why. Lips are for searching for the other lost soul, Trying to connecting with its other half. A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed.

What if Brabantio’s assumptions were correct? This rewrite changes Desdemona’s response and some of her personality to reflect what if she told the Duke that Othello had tricked her. Brabantio- “Please let her speak. If she admits she wanted this, then I won’t blame Othello.—Come here, my child. Who do you obey here? (Shakespeare)”. Desdemona- My father, O’ so noble. I have made a grave error, not only in my life but in thy’s too. Othello’s force caused me to be overridden with magical powers of deception. (see’s Othello) THOU! Thou will have my rage descend upon thee. Brabantio- My sweet innocent child, that Moor will be taxed for his sins and will be greatly punished. Desdemona- Oh father, forgive me for my misguided actions that show deceit. Thou, Duke, must banish that twisted moor that has tricked me. Duke- Othello, thou disgusting pig, thee has lied. Thy deal will stand and be followed as tight as the strings that tie thou purse. Othello- How could thou?! Thy told me thoughts of love, thy told me thoughts of comfort, and thy told me thoughts OF TRUTH. I never fooled you and I’m positive I have never taken advantage of thou. Desdemona- Lies! Thou lies to the highest of power to the government. Othello- I have served the government for an array of battles, why would I… Brabantio- ENOUGH! Dispose of this moor the exact way you would dispose of a carcasses arse because that’s what thy evil deserves.
A voice of reason pounds on the malevolent door of Iago’s twisted mind yet he ignores Roderigo, refusing to open the door. As I write each of these analytical blogs I take my reader down my version of the rabbit hole. Through act one, scene one, Roderigo, otherwise known as the voice of reason, attempts to turn Iago away from his manipulative ways yet, Iago refused. Down the rabbit hole we go. Re-write starts at act 1, scene 1, page 2, line 42. Roderigo- "I would not follow him then" (Shakespeare). Iago- Thou art correct, I will no longer live in my struggles. I did not wanteth to hurt thy people f’r real yet my own inconsiderate mind wished my unsuccess onto others. That gent, Cassio, may have the job and my wish for those folk’s arses to kicketh the bucket have vanished. Roderigo- I see thou ways have greatly changed to show thy true colors. I told’st myself if I had helped thy with thee evilish problems, thy would soon discover their own faults on thy own. Iago- My dear’st friend, I now see the great troubles I have caused upon you and I shall give you the mighty treasures I have stolen from thou grasp. Roderigo- I forgive thee for thy sins. The contrasts between Iago from Shakespeare’s version of the character and my version vary greatly. This massive change would cause a rippling effect throughout the original script, specifically affecting Desdemona's relationship.
“Every night, Liesel would nightmare. Her brother’s face. Staring at the floor. She would wake up swimming in her bed, screaming, and drowning in the flood of sheets. On the other side of the room, the bed that was meant for her brother floated boatlike in the darkness. Slowly, with the arrival of consciousness, it sank, seemingly into the floor. This vision didn’t help matters, and it would usually be quite a while before the screaming stopped” (Zusak).
“The bed that was meant for her brother floated boatlike in the darkness” (Zusak).
Finally we are saved, a boat with a blued eyed boy to save us. “It sank, seemingly into the floor.” (Zusak). Once again, this is reality and death. He has been dead. Ahh, O’ sun, pull me to the surface of which I have drowned. We peeled open our savory eyelids bathed in the salt of the seas to see Hans, Hans Huberman; or in this case the sun. This was the nightmare that “wasn’t” described. Zusak, Markus. "The Woman with the Iron Fist." The Book Thief. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2006. 27. Print. The first section of chapter one, A Whole New Mind: Right Brain Rising written by Daniel Pink, you hear what seems to be a true experiment due to the italicized font at the foot of the page. I know this is from the life of Daniel Pink because he is currently 52 years old. From A Whole New Mind, “I've lived with my brain for forty years now.”, the previous quote shows this experiment took place about 12 years back in 2004. 2005 is the year the book was published which supports my idea that this is referring to his life. But a true, non-fiction encounter, I don’t believe so.
Daniel Pink is writing all about how we need to “rise” our right brains and find an equilibrium but he mentions a psychotic. In a psychopath's brain the left side is very prominent and do not have an equilibrium between left and right hemispheres. I thought that a psychopath would be extremely intelligent if their left side of their brain overtook the right side but that seems to be not so. To continue on the idea of Hannibal Lecter, why did Daniel Pink reference a cannibalistic psychotic? I can’t seem to picture the NIMH treating perfectly healthy subjects as murders with a twisted mind. It just goes to show some people over exaggerate to make a story seem, dare I say, fascinating.

“They tolerate confusion and ambiguity up to a point.”
In reality your point is irrelevant and it always will be. No matter how high you push your point up or how low you smash it, it doesn't have to interfere with anything. In the text the author mentions mental energies. “Good problem solvers learn to devote their mental energies to listening to other speakers and thinking through their positions.” Not only do you have to save mental energy to listening and thinking, you must save it for being mature. Your breaking point doesn't matter unless you act on it. Have the maturity to take a step back before you even hit this point. Being mature saves you and the people around you for an extremely uncomfortable situation. Don't let your emotions get the best of you and plaster a smile while you calm down. |
