IED

///////////Intermittent explosive disorder (abbreviated IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of violence, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand. It is currently categorized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as an impulse control disorder. IED belongs to the larger family of Axis I impulse control disorders listed in the DSM-IV-TR, along with kleptomania, pyromania, pathological gambling, and others.[1] Impulsive aggression is unpremeditated, and is defined by a disproportionate reaction to any provocation, real or perceived. Some individuals have reported affective changes prior to an outburst (e.g., tension, mood changes, energy changes, etc.).[2]

— Albert Camus

///////////////“Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”
-Albert Camus



/////////////////Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ... But what are the simple constituent parts of which reality is composed? - What are the simple constituent parts of a chair? - The bits of wood of which it is made? Or the molecules or atoms? ...The fluctuation of scientific definition: what today counts as an concomitant of a phenomena will tomorrow be used to define it.' (Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1889 - 1951)



///////////In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.' (Albert Camus, 1913 - 1960)



///////////////////Russell: Certainty of Fools, Wisdom of Doubt
'The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.'



///////////////Socialist, Anti-war Activist: Bertrand Russell
'War does not determine who is right - only who is left.'



//////////////French Existentialism Philosophy: Sartre
'Everything has been figured out, except how to live.'



///////////////EXISTENTIALISM-in any situation, no matter how confining, you have a choice. To believe you do not, is to choose not to choose.
(a) Even when you are dying, you can choose how you die: in a panic or in acceptance, without forgiving or with forgiving, as an example for others or by sole concern for yourself.



///////////////What is the one truly serious philosophical problem? Why is this so.
(a) If we answer this question by what people do, rather than what they say, then the most important question is the meaning of life.
(b) (Saying it is a question of suicide, as Camus does, is putting the question in terms on one alternative.)
(1) Many people will give up their most cherished beliefs in order to go on living: e.g., Galileo, Peter the Apostle, a wife dedicated to a marriage, which is oppressive to her.
(2) Many people kill themselves because they judge it not worth the bother: e.g., a person over sixty-five whose spouse has just died; a teenager; a person who cannot live up to someone else's expectations.
(3) Others risk their own death for ideas which give them a reason to live: e.g., Socrates, a mountain-climber, a soldier, but more importantly, you, since essentially that is what your life becomes.


/////////////////SINKOS PROBLEM=When does one choose death?
(a) When experience undermines you and you find yourself in an unfamiliar world, you are faced with "the Absurd."
(1) Consider the person who identifies worth or self with another person, a role, a profession, or a way of life. If the identification of self is broken, i.e., divorce, death, physical injury, being fired, or loss of interest, the meaning for self is lost.
(2) Tolstoy wrote his essay: "...I felt that what I was standing on had given way, that I had no foundation to stand on, that that which I lived by no longer existed, and that I had nothing to live by..." Tolstoy was undermined.
(b) One chooses death when life becomes too much: life is seen as "unfair" or arbitrary. There are too many demands, and you cannot count on anybody.
(c) In this state, some persons begin a "mechanical life'" and do not understand life. As Edna St. Vincet Millay wrote, "Life must go on, I forget just why." Tolstoy's arrest of life was seen in terms of the questions, "Why? Well, and then?

/////////////////Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”
― Albert Camus



///////////////////Camus died at the age of 46 years, the January 4, 1960, in a car accident near the town of Villeblevin. He traveled with his publisher Gallimard, who also died in the accident, and was found with an unused train ticket in his pocket, a sad final proof of the absurdity of life and death.



//////////////////He who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hopes for the human condition is a fool.
— Albert Camus



////////////////UPLOC PROBLEM-We are faced with the real possibility that life is meaningless. If this sense of meaninglessness persists, we are forced to ask whether life is worth living at all. Camus says that this question of suicide is the most basic philosophical question. He opens his essay with this fundamental point:

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest – whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories – comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer [the questions of suicide].”



///////////////.....He points out that a life without meaning does not necessarily lead to the fact that life is not worth living:

“People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.”



/////////////.....Camus’s response to this condition of the absurd is to “live in revolt.”



////////////////The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than fu tile and hopeless labor.



////////////////Camus did hold that life was absurd — defying logical explanation, and ultimately irrational. However, Camus considered life valuable and worth defending.



/////////////////What sets Camus apart from many existentialists and modern philosophers in general is his acceptance of contradictions. Yes, Camus wrote, life is absurd and death renders it meaningless — for the individual. But mankind and its societies are larger than one person.




//////////////////But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads." ~ Albert Camus
