If the human race survives, future men will, I suspect, look back on our enlightened epoch as a veritable age of Darkness. They will presumably be able to savor the irony of the situation with more amusement than we can extract from it. The laugh's on us. They will see that what we call 'schizophrenia' was one of the forms in which, often through quite ordinary people, the light began to break through the cracks in our all-too-closed minds.
R.D. Laing, The Politics of Experience, p. 107
well,their laugh will be on me, certainly..."if you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?", T.S. Eliot..
i wish it would be more such as:
“To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.” (T.S.Eliot)
but my life appears more in the shade of this:
“Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow”
(T.S.Eliot)

remark: well, they say R.D. Laing, author of The Divided Self, also somebody dealing with family therapy, had not been much caring about his many children. and he suffered from episodic alcholism and depressions, his own words. he experimented privately with a lot of drugs. also he lost his licence as a medical practitioner.
