There have been several times that I shifted my focus on this blog, moving further and further away from the brainwashing. There are truths about the four humors that are as old as the time of Confucius and ancient Greeks. I obviously believe in those truths. But the way they have been simplified can either be beautiful and elegant, or it can be homogenized into a convenience store product. The reason I highlight all the sources of the four types is so that the ideas can be tested and questioned. What if one author gets aspects wrong? Wouldn't you want to know about their bias? Wouldn't you want to know if you are absorbing biases and judgments?
So many people feel really happy when they find their type and season. But so many people do not. There is a lot of pain in this topic. The issues of why we would deny or repress aspects of our truth, and then need to allow them to be expressed, are not easy ones. Take what you like and leave the rest. Keep refocusing on the positive.
