i may be an ignorant child in the grand scheme of all this talk, but please
inform me, is this a gross overexaggeration of some kind? i find it hard to
believe, in a literal sense, that people credit one man for "discovering" sex
and death....i would presume that they were well aware of both in their life
before discovering the theories of Freud........in order to help me out,
if you desire, since i don't know that much, could you name some examples
of this apparent type of fanaticism?
