Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect.

Blessedly so, my mind is very discerning.

If I suspect, even for a second, that someone's going to tell me something truthful, something that would propel me to dismantle my well-constructed, extremely comfortable unhealthy habits, the garage door slams shut automatically!

I've known people who have lost their minds, and I envy their happiness!

I've studied Bhuddism, and the part that makes me wonder if I'd make a successful Bhuddist, is attaining the state of thoughtlessness. I've been known to go a few minutes in that state, with determined effort, and its clicks, that beautiful feeling of non-being.

When it gets right down to it, all thoughts are entertainment to the mind.
Even the uninvited thoughts, or, as they call them in the Far East: univited guests.
