Today’s
Thought Multiple Personalities
G. Ward
“Therefore
if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love,
if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make
my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in
spirit, intent on one purpose.” Philippians 2:1-2
Sybil is a 1977 drama film
that originally aired as a made-for-television
miniseries.
It was based on the book of the same name. It featured a most
excellent actress (Sally Fields), portraying a young graduate student plagued
with multiple personality disorder (13 different personalities to be exact).
Ultimately this portrayal was determined as being the essence of psychosis.
Many I’ve encountered have conveyed a similar disorder
without a technical prognosis. In the marketplace their garbs are meticulously
selected to portray a higher socio-economic status, that others would seemingly
be impressed. Vocationally, they yield very little transparency so their
contemporaries stand perplexed at how aloof one could be. Then there’s home;
everyone within those walls pray for a day to which those common frayed
garments would be trashed and that you’d be less transparent so they wouldn’t
have to listen to your constant nagging and bickering!
We’ve introduced on today just 3 personalities perhaps in
your repertoire. Does that make you psychotic? You’re catching Sister Sybil
quickly! Remember the scripture lesson text? Read it again. Happy Friday!
Amen!
