PSYCHOLOGY

Now that this blog has been created, I feel the need to write. I feel I MUST write. Throwing compulsive thoughts and Ellis's irrational belief on 'musterbation' out of the window, I thus begin this post.

As mentioned earlier, psychology means more to me than merely studying and analyzing the mind or behaviour of anything that lives under the sun. The P S Y C H O L O G Y of psychology really surmount to something greater than the sum of its parts, whatever they have been identified to be, and here's a rather brief glimpse into what this gestalt really means to me.

Psychology to me means:

- An irreplaceable amount of time that I have spent with this subject.
- Experiences that encompass eight years of my life.
- An enigmatic space that accomodates every living thing on this planet.
- A lifetime of wonder that I have enjoyed diving into and waiting to delve into further.
- A weird sort of satisfaction and peace.
- The upheaval, joy, relief and anxiety coupled with numerous other feelings and emotions that I feel every time I study it.
- This sense of evolution I feel, within and outside me, for better or for better.
- Knowing and not knowing, living the paradox and surviving it.
- A subject I chose on impulse and stayed with out of choice.
- A kaliedoscope of every thing my life is made up of.

While this list is sure to be never ending, I'd like to know what it (psychology) means to you. And as psychologists would quote, "there are no right or wrong answers." :)

Come to think of it, summing up what psychology means to me hasn't been easy, to say the least. Perhaps this is why the bigger picture is quite so challenging to see and feel. How can it be easy when what we technically are looped on to are the smaller parts of what makes us whole?

And I guess, as Robert Frost would have it, that has made all the difference.
