I was reading the newspaper, and amoungst other things, was feeling immensely proud of the state's top VCE achievers. Especially the blind girl who proved her point! And to all my buddies who've done incredibly well; CONGRATS!
But something else caught my eye too. Jerusalam Syndrome or psychosis. Its when you start seeing things such as the messiah pop out of a historic wall in Jerusalam, or you have a sudden urge to go to Jerusalam, something similar to a sudden urge to sneeze. I don't know if it was meant to be funny or not. It definetley wasn't hard news. I was cracking up. Is this another comedy of the west? Naming a religious state of mind as a medical condition?
Go to India, every thiruvizha, actually just every friday, the most bakthiful (religious) are in similar state of hyperactiveness. Except we call this 'saami vanthidichu'. Not label it as a medical condition.
No recollection, seeing things and sudden urges to go to a religious place shouldn't be a syndrome! Its called faith! The faith of believing, beyond the explainable. Geez, some people have lost the plot.
