Cuckoo's Nest !

Shocking !!!
As I enter my 60th year of existence on this planet, and a casual remark that am entering, “second childhood’ there came a sharp retort from a friend that I never did get out of childhood !! Even more strange was to read an article on Divided Personality on the same day. In hindsight,it was truly an eye opener and an answer to all the difficulties, joy and anguish one passes thru in life !
To start with, we all grow and blossom into a person with set traits, success habits and self discipline, in line with the pattern of life till age 26.The focus being on making a living with dignity, acquiring wealth for comfort, family for companionship and security. In this period the predominant person is the one that has been nurtured by education and upbringing. As days go by, roadblocks appear, work pressure develops, emotional dependence on family rises, and financial constraints play havoc.!!!
It is at this time, that the dormant dual person or persons in some cases wakes up to seize the opportunity to be in focus. Mannerisms change, habits that were very much under control, like alcohol, become a necessity more than luxury, and the result is a direct hit on those close to you- Family !!! Some have the capacity to understand and treat it medically, some accept it as a quirk of fate, and some give up, and leave the person, floundering like a person in the dark, swatting imaginary flies !! Finally the result, is a human being, broken into pieces like a jig saw puzzle, who is desperately trying to make it a wholesome picture on his own.
Why does it happen ?? Most of the reasons I found were shallow, but how can it be treated - Yes, only people very close to you will notice the change. They need to be tactful,dedicted,patient and with love and care guide you on to being yourself.. the wholesome you !!
Its an aberration of personality that occurs, and the answer is to join all those fragments, known as multi personalities to make a wonderful creation of God !! – YOU !!!
