The implications of love

I will not and dare not compare the experiences of being psychotic to the sufferings experienced by people who were in concentration camps. However, looking back, the following quote by Viktor Frankl offered the best description about, why I did not do anything harmful to myself, when I was in the direst state of psychosis where some patients might take harmful action in reaction to their delusional belief.

"The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way — an honorable way — in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment."

Or, for instance, in Apocalypse, all is lost for all... leaving me along to live.

On a second thought, it is really crazy for me to be totally cuckoo while my actions and beliefs were in line with how Viktor Frankl had put it... 8-O

At the same time, it does amaze me that, although my body is broken into pieces due to the injury to the spine, I have, so far, and, knock on wood, come in and out of major psychotic episodes without a scratch... owing to the loving contemplation of the beloved, possibly.
