My Name is Professor Mysterious!

Emotional Instability and Madness Lessons

Settle down readers who just love sitting in through this nonsense!

Asst. Dawson: Prof, we have 8 new sitting inners.

Is that even an accepted word, Dawson?

Asst. Dawson: I have no idea professor...

This is why you'll end up an assistant, Dawson! You always-always-always say that you don't know! Do you have an inferiority complex?

Asst. Dawson: I-

Let me guess, you don't know.

Asst. Dawson: I actually I don't have...

Grrrrr... Get the sits ready for we have about sixteen people sitting in as of this lesson!

Asst. Dawson: Y-yes boss! I mean PROF!!!

Greetings! It hasn't been a day since my last lesson, but my goodness... I am ready to teach again! Do not side-comment me, Dawson. I AM WARNING YOU!

Let's talk about Madness and how none of us are emotionally stable.

Humanity is flawed. They are sinners... we are sinners and that we are really born to sin. It's not about the Original sin like that of what the Catholic is teaching us! NOPE. This is an innate persona of each and every one of all us. Perfection is meaningless and to sin is proof that we are all imperfect.

Let's take a quote from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone)... Voldermort telling Harry, "There is no good and evil. There is only power... and those too weak to seek it."

I believe that quote. Props to JK Rowling for being such a good author! She sure made use of her gifts wisely and now look at her... she is at the top of her gain... ... ... until basically the social media try to bury her by their own selfishness. Why is that? We humans always try to find an opening just to pull our brethren down to our level. It bothers me why people always try to do things like that. Maybe out of jealousy? Well, she is famous and all but that doesn't mean that she is just a human nonetheless. She'll die in the end, right?

Trying to pull down our own kind and role-playing as someone in the internet masked by underscore, hashtags, numbers, and nicknames. People would do stupid things and lead others to the same stupidity that is... madness. Let's face it, we humans are just too arrogant to accept the reality that is us.

Asst. Dawson: Your name is also a nickname.

Shut it, you irrelevant assistant...

It may be a nickname to hide my identity as I talk my rants about this fictitiously and suspiciously contemporary world we are living in but... that... that guy in the picture is not even me! So... let's move on shall we?

To you, sitting in here... I don't know the reason that you clicked to this. I am a weird and fictitious person and I am still trying to wake up from the reality that is... THIS but i still... it is weird to find myself currently asleep. Being very aware is madness itself... call me perceptive, call me observant... or simply just call me sensitive to everything happening in the world.

Why do people end up getting crazier each generation?

It has something to do with genetics apparently. It has something to do with what we eat nowadays. It has something to do with what we watch nowadays. It has something to do with the ones we are listening to nowadays. It has something to do with what they advertise nowadays. It has something to do with how unaware we are with these changes... or we are aware but we just don't want to do anything about it.

And then... we rant in our social media about these problems now, ait? Hypocrites... all talk and no action... just like me... I'm tired... this is just one of those pathetic universes out there that I am living in... I just can't wait to find my true purpose in life and be done with reincarnating a couple of times...

I am reminded of a reincarnation of mine in the past... believe it or not... I was a serial killer in my other past life. It is not the best life that I have been to... but it happened...

There is a serial killer targeting college graduates in the year 1972 in a specific school, not in this world, of course. Do you know how scary it is if I coincidentally have someone like me here in the past doing the same thing? I know that it is not in this world though... black hair is considered bad luck in that world. The most normal hair color out there is brown, you see...

So, the serial killer in the past, Professor Mysterious, was the isolated and bullied one. He was the weird one in that batch. Being the product of bullying, I swore to deviate from my purpose that time and started killing them one by one. Of course, I also played as one of the targets who almost got himself killed only that I called the police and by the time they arrived, the serial killer which was me... "got away" leaving me with slices in my arms and legs. A few broken bones to make out the picture that I nearly escaped death. They bought it of course. I even described the silhouette of my supposed killer... How tall he was and how scared and traumatized I really was. Acting was too flawless... believe me. The killings continued on. I was ruthless indeed... none of the police knew that I was indeed the killer. The one who pretended to be the sixteenth victim who narrowly escaped from death was the killer himself.

So, I faked moving to another country because I was so traumatized and was very scared of my life. They bought it again. I sent a different person instead... making sure that he would be thankful to me for the rest of his life by lying so low that even those trying to dig graves won't find him... The more I kill, the tighter the security... and the tighter the security... the more the casualty. When I got to kill them all... no... not yet... I still have to kill my final victim. I pulled the trigger on myself and BAM!

Anyways, this is madness... right? If you don't want the one you are bullying to end up becoming that serial of a killer? Stop Bullying. Changing the world starts with one person and that is not an easy task. People who are in denial... one of the most common defense mechanisms, which is actually normal... is being abused to its extent.

You are caught in the act of a crime... CAUGHT!!! AND THEN... you suddenly make an excuse for it... deny the allegations against you... even with CCTV camera showing the proof. Humans, right? There are lots of defense mechanisms out there. I want you to take a look at them and check them out. Have you done all of them already? Check your psychiatry or psychology books to better study them!

How do we say that one has already fallen into madness? Neurosis versus Psychosis!

Neurotic individuals know that they are mad, alright. They are aware... they have insight of their problems and they still have a grasp in reality. However, for psychotic individuals... reality is distorted to the point that they are no longer with us. Physically they are with us... mentally... not that coherent.

I have to tell you something about those... Unbreakable, Split, and Glass. Those movies show us something. Mental disorders could probably bring out a human's latent ability. Let's say that Neurosis are those heroes... while Psychosis are those villains. I'm just saying...

Aggression, from the previous lesson... I've touched that. However, Uncontrolled Anger... commonly known as Wrath. One of the seven deadly sins... by the Catholic Christians or any Christian related sects or religion, this is probably one of the most dangerous sins... out there. Uncontrolled would lead to murder or doing something you don't want to do... and yet you have no control over it. Drugs, don't do them... that's why most of the criminals are under drug influence... otherwise... maybe they are very poor that they have to do it, the crime.

I remember once in another life... during a war, soldiers were allowed to make use of drugs to let lose of their inhibitions... to minimize the sensation of pain and to simply just get them high. It was immoral, but it helped the nation take over one's territory and win the war. The casualties, however, involved civilians.

Anxiety.

This is probably one of those things that gives you the feeling that the world is shaking... oh wait... it's just me.

So this thing is both boon and bane (good and bad). Good with the right amount... being mildly anxious broadens your senses after all... it lets you become more aware of your surroundings and it makes you more precise and more confident afterwards. Moderate anxiety... narrows your visual fields... makes you more agitated and makes it difficult for you to concentrate on a task. With severe anxiety though... imagine that you are looking into a hole with light at the end of it. Your goal is just to see the light... ignoring what your task is about... making you immobile and very narrow minded. Many cases of drowning involves severe anxiety... no tremors (mild), no struggling (moderate)... just waiting to run out of breath looking at the surface as you sink into your own death.

Lessons with madness is not yet over... There are still some other topics to discuss... After all, we've just scratched the surface. I've got more stories to tell and more experiences to share. Other than that!!! I'll seeee you students!!! Next time! Stay healthy!!!
