A Stubbornness of Woe

In Chapter 7 of Humanity and Chance, Dr. Mark’s character delivers a profound insight into a pivotal moment. He articulates, “The mind’s stubbornness. It won’t give up on a wound but will try to replay, repeat the traumatic event.” This revelation, serving as a cornerstone for the psychological journey that unfolds in the novel, underscores the depth of the narrative and its potential to provoke and empower introspection in the reader.

It reveals that Humanity’s mind does not want to be healed. Humanity’s trauma is the cause of her wasteful behavior. She could not make the connection, but her mind could and successfully hid what was happening. Her mind took malicious amusement in repeating the trauma, while Humanity knew nothing about that.

We unwittingly become pawns in this game, with our pain and addictions serving as fuel for our minds’ amusement. With its emphasis on these psychological themes, this narrative invites you, the reader, to ponder and reflect on your own experiences: Are you prepared to embark on your own journey of self-discovery?

This novel is a captivating exploration of the human psyche and a mirror that can aid in your self-discovery. It holds the potential to ignite personal growth and inspire profound introspection, offering a beacon of hope for those seeking to understand themselves better.
