    You might be joking but: There has been a story a long time ago:

    People (mostly men) who are mostly bald on the top of the head, but have like hair on the side, are said that their hair is a “crow’s nest”. (because it looks a bit like one of these things:)

    These people were said to have reached enlightenment, wisdom, or knowledge, because the bird (raven or crow) stands for wisdom, insight or knowledge. (compare that to the owls in ancient greece, ravens in nordic mythology, dove in christianity or eagle in the US culture.)

    That is i believe partially also why this hairstyle was considerably popular among christian monks, who would often use shears to achieve hair that looks like that.

      or any meditation technique/speech therapy.

      christian monks used to do the same. i think it was called “confession” or something when you talked about things that bothered you with somebody who was reasonably intelligent in a private context.

      i guess it really helped and might have been the modern equivalent of talking to a therapist.

    I couldn’t get over my high school girlfriend until my thirties. One time, I had a dream in which she told me that my obsession with her was unhealthy and that I needed to move on. It didn’t help.

    (I do think it’s hilarious that she rejected me even in my own dreams.)
