[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677672, member: 18958"] Hi Cedar. Almost time for happy hour. Hi to D H. You know Cedar, I am struggling with the win. I never thought there was triumph. I thought of it more as a defensive move. A way to manage self concept. Like, I'm feeling a bit low today, a tad vulnerable. Why not shun my mother more, so I can feel like a bigger guy. If it is this, it is really sadistic, I think. I wonder what D H thinks about it, if there is a thrill as well as a defense, either or neither. I will ask M. I will look for the book Purity and Danger which I have not read in maybe 35 years. It feels like yesterday. I will get books by Mary Douglas, Clifford Geertz and Victor Turner who started the subset of study called symbolic anthropology I think. I will also look for Marcel Eliade, who I remember is (was) fascinating. He wrote, I think, about religion. It is interesting to me how little this field is taken into account in the study of psychology when to me it is fundamental. These anthropologists, none of them, I think believed in a universal human nature, the possibility of a unifying theory, but I think their concepts really help me understand me and my own experience.
