Brilliant.
- To feel alone in a room full of people is human. Not pathological. The soul’s birthright.
- To think dandelions are ugly is more of an aesthetic failure, but common enough to be “normal.” Still mildly pathological.
- To have full faith without expectations is rare and beautiful.
- To think your government is your friend is deeply delusional.
- To be enchanted by a sales pitch is pathological in today's world.
- To sign contracts for life, I suppose it depends on the contract.
- To be dazzled by any politician would be acute pathology.
- To have a face that cries out for a fist in it. This one leans more towards cultural observation than pathology.
I’m thinking the five that are pathological are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. 2 feels like a subjective human variance, 3 sounds like grace. I love how you're using poetry this way, very creative!
