Wilde is my hero and so is my psychology teacher. Wilde's pearl of wisdom quoted above as well as my teacher's recent eye-opener have brought merriment to my life as I finally managed to grasp something I had desired to know for a very long time back in the dark ages. It all boils down to redundancy which, just like my male hero, I absolutely adore, love and worship. And my precious relatively new teacher said what I had been wanting to comprehend so desperately. Well, some time ago I asked myself a question based on years of exercising my right to exploit the braincells of mine. The more time one spends with linguistics and words in general, the sooner they realise there are far more negative expressions concerning feelings and states of mind than the positive ones. The question 'why is that?', asked by many, gives ground to the stereotype that there are more negative than positive moments in life. Nothing can be further from the truth. Psychology, speaking via the crooked mouth of my teacher, claims that this is all because negative feelings we wanna fight or improve, and that's exactly why we differentiate them so subtly. When you feel all right, you do not have the urge to define the feeling. And that’s about it. So many years of being hunted by negative emotions of all sorts due to my lack of knowledge. Yeah, well. Knowledge sure brings joy, happiness, merriment and contentment to life. To mine, at least.
