You can bail water 24/7, and no matter how good you are at not sinking, you still have a hole in your boat.

That's like leaping off a precipice and trying to knit yourself a parachute on the way down.

The conundrum of sanity and insanity, is that it serves us to be some of each. It's really only a question of degrees. You cannot possibly be 100% adjusted and live in this INSANE world. A little bit of crazy is a coping skill.

These thrill seeker people doing extreme sports...they have a hideous accident, go through agonizing recovery, and then go back to that activity that nearly killed them...that's not facing your fear, that's embracing your stupidity.

I will not dumb myself down to make someone else more comfortable with their ignorance.

One of my biggest fears is that I'm going to die alone in my home, and my cats will eat me because I am too dead to open their food cans.
