Quote by James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Fa
As a whole part of psychological education it needs to be remembered that a neurosis can be valuable; also that adjustment to a sick and insane environment is of itself not health but sickness and insanity.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing that a neurosis, or a mental disorder, can have value in the context of psychological education. It cautions against blindly accepting an unhealthy and unstable environment as the norm for "adjustment." Suggesting that conforming to such an environment is not a sign of mental health, but rather confirms sickness and insanity. This reminder encourages critical thinking and the prioritization of mental well-being over complacency in an unhealthy society.
