neurosis
Neurosis is the past hating the present. neurosis brings me to a halt - as it does it forces me beyond myself under a threat of going under. hence the humanness in neurosis, as transfigured in myth, poetry, and drama. neurosis makes us heroes and saints when not making us invalids. in heroism or holiness, the element of neurosis represents the past, intervening like a limit (constraint) within which life becomes “impossible”.
