“I read the author’s first book and could barely recognise it as her writing style. It’s not about slamming it as a bad first effort. It’s about the evolution and the journey to excellence we are all on.”
“There is a deterioration in some cases.”
“I prefer to call it diversion to other unknown fields. And that could be what society terms as mental instability.”
“I know what you’re talking about. It’s neither the book nor the rusted model of Harley Davidson.”
“You’re right. I can’t get Dad’s dementia, his books and the fleet of his vehicles out of mind.”

Reena, I appreciate your perspective that different shouldn’t be labeled in a negative light. I’ve read where individuals with Down’s Syndrome exist in another dimension. I don’t know if I believe that but it does put the human condition and its place in the universe into another light.

Anybody who does not behave in a socially acceptable manner is either antisocial or insane. But there can be so many layers and levels of it.
I’m excluding crime & violence – whatever hurts another is unacceptable to both God & humans.

Reena, generally I agree with your first statement, but I think there are many more reasons than the eithers-ors you’ve given.

The first lines interesting. If the first book and you only just meeting her style, possibly recognise it yet. Nice little story about dad and his dementia sufferings though.

“Diversion to other unknown fields”– I like that. If only it weren’t so lonely and frightening for those who have to walk that path.

Yeah… but insanity is just another level of existence.

Dads are precious. They always occupy our mind.
Hope no dad ever has dementia…

Just a parallel, not redefinition.
