Recently talking to myself lead me to believe in some sort of theory of justification in all interior thoughts of (attempt, contemplative indulgence or otherwise) self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency in that we don't need to rely on matriarchal, patriarchal, sibling, nuclear, human or any kind of dependency of relations or communication. Absolution of this kind lead me to believe that all human beings require contact as a self-evident need of a human. Granted there are subversions of this but that is not my point. All humans must associate (ergo 'the Clique') but even insuch there are many who secretly revel themselves as being deviants of this theory, thinking they do not belong in any sort of clique whatsoever. I certainly think that way. The clique encourages division of some sort, and that undermines the 'deviant's association with the clique. Why, I postulate, is because underlying all their thoughts is some sort of Grand Unification. Like great and small, particle and nebula alike, we as humans may never find a solution to our great and easily detectable thoughts which comfortably affix the small, miniscule hidden thoughts of the deepest realms of the mind. (Somewhat akin to how our theories of the grand things in the universe, prove that small things such as ourselves cannot exist, and theories of the small prove that the large things in the universe cannot exist.)
Therefore the only ammendationisitc word I can apply to answer the whole between why we dissociate into groups and why we (at least try, to some extent) to affiate humankind to one glorious whole is love.

These are Metapsychological thoughts I conjured on the way to school this morning, which as I learned later in the day was an analytical method of thinking developed by Sigmund Freud called "Free Association." To Free-Associate, one speaks their mind, literally, talking to themselves or one who will analyize. They will talk at length or punctuated, at whatever comes to mind, completely uncensored. It's a fantastic method of self-examination and I think could do well as a topic on the Escapist, to have the Forum-goers who respond to one another, analyze with some extension of Nonformal or Tangential Learning.

Dude. Stop trying so hard. I have 2 degrees and I can barely muddle through this post.

Free association is taught in every writing class since its inception, get over it.

Absolution has absolutely nothing to do with what you are talking about. If you are going to try to impress people with big words, try to use them correctly.

I am done being a dick now. Good luck and gods speed.

I was acutally just making public and to words many thoughts I put aloud to myself this morning. I thought it would be insightful, but initially it was more for me than anyone else.
I thought people could also become insightful in their own right as well.

Well I honestly feel defeated if how I think and how those thoughts transfer to a literary rendering seem convoluted. Id feels like I should sarcastically retort with "Sorry I tried to help' but that only compounds the anxiety and frustration in the world.
Also, I didn't try that hard, it mostly flowed.
