The Darcy Syndrome(TDS): First recorded in the year 1813, when Jane Austen published her novel Pride and Prejudice, TDS continues strong in today's world. TDS is charecterized by an immense love for the character Mr. Darcy, so intense that no other man seems good enough. Many TDS sufferers are crippled by these high expectations, and never meet anyone with Mr. Darcy's sauve sophistication, quizzical brows, bags of money, air of class, hard exterior, and soft heart. They are always on the search of this elusive man, never learning to appreciate what is around them. Many refuse to believe he is fictional, instead they fixate on the idea that if there are six billion people in the world, there must be a Mr. Darcy out in the world. Hard to cure and highly contagious, there is not much hope for TDS sufferers.
I was diagnosed in the year 2005, and ever since then I have been plagued with high expectations, but as of today I am on the lookout for the cure: a new perspective. It will be dangerous, difficult and tiresome, but I think I am up for the challenge.
