I spoke recently with a family member about the illusion of control.
Even when considering getting a submission delivered for work on deadline - the illusion can be said to be strongest then. There once was a man who dropped dead at his keyboard.
Something impossible to manage or control. That’s a kicker!
Some people are so stressed out... "likely cause they don’t know what stress is." I remember one of the OG's telling me. Ohio is my best guess... maybe Florida.
Mind has expensive tastes when it comes to the intoxication of anxiety.
I &I find for mind that most is watered down. Mind chooses top shelf and forces I&I to foot the bill. Person plays the price for Johnny Walker Green when it’s really Corn Cob.
Bullets are stressful. Poverty is stressful. Abuse is stressful. I’ve heard that if your not driven to drugs and alcohol then your not so stressed; this is also a clever operation of Mind; Mind says.
I hear that larger and larger numbers of Americans ‘suffer’ from Anxiety. 1 does not suffer anxiety, only Mind. Only the person suffers, Self is impervious.
When confronted with the never ending undulations of personality - the mind is like a surfer determined to catch the right wave, never getting out of the water.
I&I hear people say all the time that Prayer works- As if Prayer were an inner city ATM in a Bodega.
LOL
