“My argument with so much of psychoanalysis, is the preconception that suffering is a mistake, or a sign of weakness, or a sign even of illness, when in fact, possibly the greatest truths we know have come out of people's suffering”

Arthur Miller (1915–2005) playwright from the United States

1963 interview, used in The Century of the Self (2002)
Context: My argument with so much of psychoanalysis, is the preconception that suffering is a mistake, or a sign of weakness, or a sign even of illness, when in fact, possibly the greatest truths we know have come out of people's suffering; that the problem is not to undo suffering or to wipe it off the face of the earth but to make it inform our lives, instead of trying to cure ourselves of it constantly and avoid it, and avoid anything but that lobotomized sense of what they call "happiness." There's too much of an attempt, it seems to me, to think in terms of controlling man, rather than freeing him. Of defining him rather than letting him go. It's part of the whole ideology of this age, which is power-mad.

“WHAT BROUGHT MY POSSESSION INTO EXISTENCE -My Greatest Discovery " When I was 12, i discovered that i it was only my external self that was existing alone, when I became 14, i realized that they were two of me that have been existing since before my first discovery. That was my passion, now my purpose second discovery, at that point they were a lot of options and alternative to choose, then i first go, not just for the easiest, but for the most easiest for my possession. ( that's why little mistakes are far from me ). -Engr. Abah Sule”
