We Who Are Schizophrenic

The self-help book for schizophrenics written by a former madman, based on the ancient wisdom of Eastern Christianity. "Insanity is not bound to, nor is it outside of, morality. We who are schizophrenic must at all times keep our inward state in a state of purified morality. In fact, it is this recognition and effort to preserve and attain virtue that we can use to heal ourselves of our illness...The cause of the disfigurement of our virtues is self-love. Self-love is a mindless affection for our thoughts and emotions, and even our senses. There is a certain amount of moral laziness involved in self-love, which leads to forgetfulness and ignorance, which in turn breeds our self-love4. To be morally responsible for ourselves, we as schizophrenics must be rid of self-love by cutting off the moral laziness, for this laziness is precisely a lack of faith." -From Chapter 1
