Your fear of change is too clearly visible in your eyes

You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you fear you are an interchangeable cog

You fear that if you lower your guard for even one second your whole world will disintegrate into chaos

...we're told by TV and Reader's Digest that a crisis will trigger massive personal change--and that those big changes will make the pain worthwhile. But from what he could see, big change almost never happens. People simply feel lost. They have no idea what to say or do or feel or think. they become messes and tend to remain messes.

You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you fear you are an interchangeable cog.

We really ought to give ourselves a collective pat on the back for doing as well as we have in a universe of constant media change and mutation.
