I *have *to meet her, but Lord do I hope it isn’t for a long while to come. > at the least sign … the *least* signI’m not this hasty. Though maybe I should say ‘I’m not this hasty…yet’. > no second chancesMy rule of thumb is no third chances. The theory is everyone fucks up from time to time. But if they’re a bad egg they’ll soon enough have a second fuckup chasing the heels of the first and then I have no qualms doorslamming them as mentioned. Not *much *harm in allowing them a single shot at redemption. > But then I realised that mad people didn’t/don’t do that.No, I suppose not. Similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect, almost. > I *am* all but the only sane one on the face of the planetDoesn’t that by definition make you the insane one, and the rest of us sane? > we’re doomed, I tell you!This, however, is definitely true. > Does my subconscious do exactly *that* … seek out shit-scary stuff that I only rationalise away as ‘not *really* scary’?Maybe it does. Not that its going to stop now that you’ve realised. > Or am I just genuinely an idiot and not as scared as I *ought* to be?Aren’t idiocy and bravery just one and the same seen in different lights? > Yeah … gotta be done — dunno ‘bout you, but me, [I’m going out the way I came in … kicking and screaming.](https://medium.com/@WhereAngelsFearToTread/scream-36f52126d5cb)Hell yeah! Also..*ooooooh *that’s a lot of ‘bedtime’ reading for me to be doing. :D > Yeah … that’s kinda played a part in my undoing too — I *will* insist on getting to know the wrong sort, if you get my drift.I get your drift exactly. Particularly in regards to the previously lamented psychic vampires. > Sorry … you *know* I’m *right* though — it *is*.You *are*, and it *is*, and that’s exactly the problem! ;D > I’m not sure whether to be impressed or mortified : SLittle bit of both, I think. > Oh, look … a duck-billed platitude!Quack, quack…**BANG**…*cartoon puff of feathers* Sod that bloody phrase. Like you say, it reeks of Fate and Karma and all those things which are just names and faces for Life and its cruelty. > Not if we were all like *me*, it wouldn’t, *no!*Well no, not from the perspective we have now. But if we were all like you and all always had been, then that would be normal & therefore perhaps boring. It is relative, after all…
