Description
This collection of 103 essays, written over some years, I
venture to suggest shows increasinglybetter mental health
developing over that period illustrated by the improved command of
expression of the author in choices of somewhat differing subject
matters. That may be of only minor concern though, of more
importance to one and all is it's preoccupation, almost throughout,
on the benefits of and obligation to do " the right thing," which,
although possibly didactic, may be unexpected coming from someone
with the notorious label of paranoid schizophrenic, perhaps even
being very reassuring for that particular reason. Having said this,
humour is very apparent still, amusement naturally being intended
to maintain the readers' interest in the writer's views and
opinions, which are propounded also with a creative use of
language. While some of the stories are purely for fun, you will
hopefully find most are enjoyably enlightening and of value on
several different levels.
About the Author
Milo Seamus Miles was born in Hampshire in summer 1951 to
parents who were afraid to address their historic issues, which
they were also, alas, too scared to share. The author became
terrified that possession of the knowledge that they were keeping
from him and processing it cognitively would have a devastatingly
detrimental effect upon him leading to adverse, maybe evil,
consequences perhaps for everyone including himself in terms of his
subsequent behaviour, being convinced by the great fear manifested
by his mother and father.
This led to an aversion to learning and thinking which then
halted almost completely, not to be resumed for over a dozen years,
with the resultant deterioration in mental health from which
paranoid schizophrenia eventually derived. Finding his misery, the
low quality of life, unacceptable, he decided that he must strive
to achieve something of major importance to make this having been a
worthwhile, transitional situation, starting by establishing " how"
he wanted to be. With this as his guide he became increasingly
functional and, with aims for his behaviour, later began to make a
contribution.
Stimulated by reading Milo's autobiography in mid-1998, his
mother was motivated to, together with his father, divulge the
bones of the difficult personal experiences that they had hidden
from him for 47 years. Accepting the facts and finding out more,
Milo dealt with these things, becoming increasingly confident of
his commitment to assist in humanity's well-being, being informed
by the wisdom engendered through having responded appropriately,
albeit delayed, to the suffering which he had decided he must make
every effort to overcome, trusting that this would be achieved by
becoming consciously aware of the relevant truth and putting it
into context. A faith which proved correct.
