If human beings were meant to be entirely stable entities, then ā€œstabilizingā€ them would be an entirely good thing; a target for mental health treatment that all could agree on. But itā€™s way more complex than that: healthy humans are constantly moving and changing. They have a complex mix of stability and instability that is hard to pin down. All this relates to one of my favorite subjects, the intersection of creativity and madness.
