Definitions Littles Madness

More From Bharati Mukherjee

The epithet beautiful is used by surgeons to describe operations which their patients describe as ghastly, by physicists to describe methods of measurement which leave sentimentalists cold, by lawyers to describe cases which ruin all the parties to them, and by lovers to describe the objects of their infatuation, however unattractive they may appear to the unaffected spectators.

Overloading attention shrinks mental control. life immersed in digital distractions creates a near constant cognitive overload. and that overload wears out self-control.
Self Attention Digital
So the problem for the poetic artist or the photographer is the common problem of continuous attentiveness, continuous attempts to notice what he is noticing, continuous alertness to catch himself thinking or seeing, devotional attentiveness to the world he's moving through.
Moving Thinking Artist
A definition is nothing else but an explication of the meaning of a word, by words whose meaning is already known. hence it is evident that every word cannot be defined; for the definition must consist of words; and there could be no definition, if there were not words previously understood without definition.
Definitions Understood Defined
It is madness. and if you don't know who you are, or if your real self has drifted away from you with the undertow, madness at least gives you an identity. it's the same with self-loathing. you're probably just normal and normal-looking but that's not a real identity, not the way ugliness is. normality, just accepting that you're probably normal-looking, lacks the force field of self-disgust. if you don't know who you are, madness gives you something to believe in.
Real Believe Force Fields
A word is used "correctly" when the average hearer will be affected by it in the way intended. this is a psychological, not a literary, definition of "correctness". the literary definition would substitute, for the average hearer, a person of high education living a long time ago; the purpose of this definition is to make it difficult to speak or write correctly.
