Sorrow or smile: Life is too short for a long face
01:30
Scene 1:
I am going down the street.
There is a deep hole in the way.
I fall into it.
I am lost...I have no hope.
It's not my fault.
It takes very long to come out.
Scene 2:
I am going down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the way.
I do as if did not see it.
I again fall into it.
I cannot believe I am again
at the same place .
But it is not my fault.
It again takes very long to come out.
Scene 3:
I am going down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the way.
I see it.
I again fall into it... out of habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am .
It is my own fault.
I come out of it immediately.
Scene 4:
I am going down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the way.
I go round it.
Scene 5:
I am going down another street.
"If you want something you never had, then do something
you never did."This moto of positive psychotheraphy is
illustrated in this blog with the story of the Wanderer, that
runs like a thread through the entire blog, and through case
studies of people whose reactions to this story are worth
telling.
My experience from many years of psychotherapeutic
work can be summed up in a sentence. people feel over-
excerted when confronted with abstract concepts and theories.
Since psychotheraphy is not a subject for experts alone, but
serves as a bridge to patients-the non-experts, maxims, and
jokes, act as important tools in making the understanding
easier. Although the fruit ripened in the European Occident,
the roots of the tree bearing this fruit lie in the Persian orient,
the country of my birth and youth. Thus, this blog and i hope,
my psychotherapeutic work represent an attempt to combine
the knowledge of the Orient with the advances of the Occident
problems. Nevertheless, I consider it useful, if not necessary,
especially at a time when geographical distances are vanishing.
The stories at the beginning of the chapter are, if not mentioned
otherwise, created by me or are variations of stories from the
rich oriental tradition.
