the castle is quiet
my gaze catches sister moon
basking on sunshine
i am present

Lapsus is...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lapsus is an involuntary mistake made while writing or speaking. According to Freud in his early psychoanalytic theory it represents a missed deed that hides an unconscious desire.

In literature there are a number of different lapsus depending on the mode of correspondence:

• Lapsus Linguae (pl. same): slip of the tongue.
• Lapsus Calami: slip of the pen. With the variation of Lapsus Clavis: slip of the typewriting
• Lapsus Manu: slip of the hand. Similar to Lapsus Calami.
• Lapsus Memoriae: slip of memory.

• When you write an email and as you press the send button you change your mind.

The way out:
a) disconnect your wireless or other connection, copy the message, open new message box, paste, delete message you don't want to send, continue editing your message until you can send it with a smile.
b) convince yourself that message was perfect and it was supposed to be sent
c) erase yourself from the cyberspace and be quiet until it all settles down

• When you wave to a person on the street and then realize you don't know them

The way out:
a) continue waving and pass by them as if you are going towards somebody behind them, smile and nod as a sign of recognition
b) stop, suddenly burst into laughter and let them know how embarrassed you feel for making a mistake
c) start a conversation with them pretending you didn't notice the mistake, ask about the family and that project you were supposed to do together

• When you make a typo on Facebook and it's already published

The way out:
a) ignore
b) apologize for the typo and write correctly
c) get upset and hate facebook for intruding into your privacy

• When you you get confused with the signs on the road and just don't know which way to turn the wheel
  

The way out: follow your gut and shift the gear.
