@Yalow,

Doesn't matter. Do you believe?

I think she was bipolar.

@Yalow,

I didn't know you were qualified as a forensic psychologist, or knew her well enough personally to male that diagnosis.

So tell me, was she the beauty history claims she was? I think she was blond and very tall, almost seven feet.

Are you angry at me only because of this opinion of mine, or is there something else? Maybe I've written something that has been taken the wrong way.

I read many books about her.

@Yalow,

Who's angry? I was trying to understand where you derived your opinion. I'd like to hear the proof of your thesis about an illiterate someone who lived and died over a period of 20 years in the early 15th century during the Hundred Years war and a time when France was a collection of principalities, and the King barely held Paris - near anarchy - a half of a millennium ago.

A book on late middle age English/French history might come in handy.

I did read about the Middle Ages. And I did have the plan to read more.

Lisa Simpson as Joan of Arc: Let's kill the English. Their concept of individual rights could undermine the power of our beloved tyrants.

As Jung stated, we create myths as a natural function of our being. Latching onto people's lives can make it simpler because there is an element of truth to the myths.

Jung understood that there are cultural values represented by symbols. Everything has meaning - the question is: is it synchronous or coincidence. And that the individual's work in life was to integrate his personality.

He wrote many books and papers and delivered many lectures. It can't all be summed up in a couple of sentences.

On the bright side, they will be publishing 'new' Jung material for decades more.

And I get my cataract surgery in May.

Jung found the symbolism of the Tarot to be useful.

@izzythepush,

Absolutely. The archetypes, and symbols made it sort of a psychological rebus. They don't tell the future as some sort of next week's newspaper would today, they reflect what is on the mind right now.

I loved my cataract surgery, my vision was restored and brightened. Ask Frank, he's a happy camper as well.

Are you doing the laser process?

@glitterbag,

I do not know. I've met the surgeon and I have a bunch of appointments starting May 1.

I understand it's measure the lens and replace it.

You'll have to talk to Joy, she knows more about this than I do. I've started receiving 'stuff' from VA that has to do with it, but I am not clear on the whole rigamarole.
