I'm going to Hell

“Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out”
-Aslan about the dwarves

I find the dwarves’ situation in The Last Battle to be disheartening because that will probably happen to me in the future. I am the type of person that needs evidence in order to believe anything, and the type of person that does not go on faith alone. I choose science over any belief system any day. I find that I would like to believe in things such as religion, but there are so many things to disprove the paranormal and spiritual ideas that I have to side with science. If something happens where I am faced with the idea to believe in something that I cannot prove, I may not be able to.

Um…I can’t think of anything else to write about this so I’m going to also talk about mental illness and counseling being a taboo. Mental illness affects so many people this day in age but no one knows about it because it is a taboo and a stigma. People don’t want to admit that they have a mental illness or see a counselor because they don’t want to be labeled as “crazy”. Once people discover that someone has a mental illness then they also question their sanity and question if that person has any credibility for anything at all.

By the way, I found an article that says mental illness is the strongest taboo.
