Insomnia: mendacious or false?
Let me tell you how this thread came about,
I was at Barns and Noble, when a kid comes up to me and has the nerve to ask me three questions, all rather simple, the first question was "what is my name?" "Victor" I said. The next question was "What color is the sky?" Luckily for me, there was a window near by, and I said "Blue" His next question was a real humdinger, he pointed to the ceiling and asked, "What direction am I pointing?" "Up" I said. I wish I would have never said those words.
He left, laughing, I didn't know what to do, I was so embarassed, I grabbed a book, and what a stange book it was, a black and white comic, about a slender form, wicked and vile he was, twisted in his ways, from his head came two spikes and his attire would be enough to shatter and illusion of hope in a man's heart and soul, rancorous be he, shadow of night, to a small man with an animal was man's creation a small man, so paranoid so fearful of the nefarious tall revolting figure in his life.
When I looked to the cover of this book, there was only a "Z?" where a title would be. Needless to say I was confused, I went over to a young man beside me, warlike in his appearance, starled by my own self, he backed away, I told him not to fear and I showed him the book and asked him what it meant. He told me it meant I should question sleep. Obviously, the man I was talking to and the one in the book, were the same person. He told me that the man who write it had insomnia and I recalled from a time where a man said on the television that insomnia was a shame and he submitted that it did not exist.
So do people with so caled insomnia have control of their actions, can they in fact sleep, was the the man in your hand over your land rover. Obviously not. There were a few times in my life I could not get to sleep, but I wouldn't call that insomnia, and if they do exist, should they be considered mentally unstable?
