With all due respect, that sounds a bit like a tap dance.

Let's not get into the personal aspect of what's going on with you, that's your business, and it should stay your business. You seem like a good person to me.

You didn't actually answer my question. That's fine. The truth is that "normal" is subjective. Normal behavior in Saudi Arabia does not include wet t-shirt contests. In the United States, it's not abnormal.

That's my point! And your question was a valid one, and I didn't answer it. My behavior, emotions and intellect come from me. Me, not my brain. I think of my brain as a computer. If it stops working, it's not the end of me. I believe I can get along without it. If it malfunctions, I might get into trouble, and that's a fact. A bad computer program can cause a computer to screw things up. That does not prove that the computer program is the source of the problem. It doesn't. All we know is that there is a problem.

Patching the bad code does not prove that the code is the source of the problem. All that proves is that there was a problem with the code. Not to mention there could be some significant new problems with the patch that nobody has bothered to look at.

The source of the problem is the dude that wrote the program, not the computer. The source of my behavior, intellect, and emotions is me. Not my brain.

Does that make sense?

You should be "manic/depressive" living in a crazy an oftentimes depressing world like ours..... Drugs, even the legal kind you are taking, are mostly just a way of making the world around you seem better than it truly as, so you can cope..... Mental crutches. Yogi
