Men:tal Health: Responsibility and Accountability

God’s gift to you …

How man can solve Mental Health.

Reality is not what you make it …

Mental Health, where do I begin. This seems to be the most talked about topic today. Who is it today claiming to be suffering? The reality TV-star, the spoiled child of well-to-do parents, or the athlete who toiled their way to the pinnacle of their illustrious sport to one day “crack”. Do I believe mental health is an escape-goat for people who refuse to acknowledge that maybe they’re delusional? Yes. Is it a issue in which constant discussion is necessary? No. Reality is not what you make it, it’s what we refuse to accept, which is the conundrum behind Mental Health.

“All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages.”

~ William Shakespeare (The Seven Ages of Man.)

Shakespeare during his tenure understood the relation between our daily lives and the plays he produced. The difference, which should be obvious, is that the Most High is the writer of this play; our lives. At one time man knew where his knowledge and understanding derived from. Even after his fall from grace, it was understood God will always be the way. So, the lesson which should have been learned centuries ago is being repeated; self delusion. Man continues to listen to the whispers of a nature, which in its diluted form, creates nothing but chaos and mayhem. Man was supposed to govern himself first and foremost, with the understanding that everything begins and ends with him.

If God and his son is the way, the light, and the source, is there really a mental health problem? Yes & No. Since, mental health can be attributed to a slew of delusional behaviors by the likes of men, then yes there’s a mental health issue plaquing society. But, if man would humble himself to what he knows to be true, then Mental Health is not a problem.

The repudiation of this delusion, further substantiates why the only mental health issue plaquing man, is his inability to accept what he knows to be truth. His incessant belief in the same lie told to him centuries ago, is today still driving him insane; you can become a God. Man didn’t understand the gravity of his mistake at the time, but through time realized the seriousness behind not adhering to commandments. So, to this day he refuses to take full responsibility of the act which lead to a world filled with delusions of grandeur.

If I gave you book of instructions on how to accomplish a task in spectacular fashion, would you read it? Wouldn’t you study it daily for further understanding of what is expected of you? What if I also told you, that even though this book was written thousands of years ago, you are in it? As you begin to pour over the pages of this instructional manual, a moment of clarity befalls you, to the likes of the first time you realized death was real. You realize that you are not a God, nor a Christ-like savior, but a man, given the power to be god-like in the form of a judging body. Could you then realize that you’ve been shirking your responsibilities, and further polluting those whom rely on your ability to discern truth from fiction?

For wisdom will enter your heart

And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul

Proverbs 2:10

Given the gift of wisdom from this “instructional manual” can one really say we have a Mental Health issue? Not saying Mental Health isn’t real, just an issue with a simple solution. Not easy, but simple. It is definitely not something to be discussed with such fervor. Granted not all men are given the gift of fortitude, but I can surmise that a great multitude of us has an understanding of what needs and should be done, in regards to the subject of Mental Health.

We as men have a responsibility to be the order society requires. To obey the chain of command: God, Jesus, Man, Woman, Child, and recognize, that which is not deemed sacred will destroy all which has been blessed; mind included. We can not pretend attentiveness to society, and be oblivious of allowing this wound to fester. It has become malignant in nature, and even though this has been written to become reality, the speed in which these cancerous ideologies has spread, should give more credence to why man has to take accountability for the state of today’s society.

“Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways and see,

and ask for the old paths, where is the good way

and walk therein and ye shall find rest for your souls.”

Ask your self this question, if Mental Health is such a serious top to be discussed, analyzed, and broached with a level of sensitivity, then why are billions of dollars attributed to it every year? Anything profitable to that extent should signal flags, timeouts, and re-play tapes scrutinized. “After reviewing the play, the receiver did not have both feet inbounds, so the ruling on the field is an incomplete catch.” This would be considered the appropriate call given the circumstances, but today: “After reviewing the play, the receiver did not have both feet inbounds, but he felt they were, so the ruling on the field is a completed catch.” Now, this may seem a bit hyperbolic, but is it really that far fetch given the temperature in the room.

You now have almost everyone claiming a Mental Health issue with a presumption of ignorance on their part. I can literally murder a family, and go to court with a defense of some form of Mental Health, which drove me to commit this act of violence. And, the way in which this subject is growing in popularity, there will be no prosecutions upheld. Granted some mental turmoil’s are unwillingly placed upon us by no fault of our own, but to claim cognitive dissidence is disingenuous. Allowing anyone to adhere to the claim of mental psychosis, is a detriment to them and society at large. This is why man is to blame for the entire situation society is in today. God gave you the responsibility, and the wisdom to tackle all which comes along with such a task.

The fact we have catered a full course meal to those who believe their breath is real, and claim to have whip appeal, while society starves on knots landing. Tv scripts now taken literal when watched without a peripheral. Who actually believes reality is a show, which can be viewed through blinking images? Wouldn’t it make the audience serial, murderers of what’s scriptural? Claim to be spiritual with a religious nature, but refuse to accept what is natural. Man has once again lost his way, and the story always ends with a complete destruction leading to a rebuild.

Mental Health is only a problem for those who do not believe, and to them, if no fault of their own, I pray. But, for those with the guidance, realize that all things are done through him. We have no excuse, nor a legitimate reason not to have a better grasp on the profundities of our lives. No one is perfect, and even great men of the lord was carnal, but that never stopped them from becoming stewards for us today.

Mental Health should only be an issue of concern for the profane. If man takes responsibility, and his place in the hierarchy of life, putting God and his son before him, then Mental Health is something read in the sports page, instead of the obituaries.
