Eureka!

And what an intellect you are! So confusion reigns amok! So? So it's nice to recognize it while in the act of swimming. Congratulations are in order! And too, too appropriate! Thanx, Chuck PS: I see the math adds up. The art, too.

How could it possibly be, fuckwit

give me maths, physics or poetic form, but when it comes to mental health only one thing counts love ooh also the state of society, government attitudes, the existential state of man, etc etc for infinite volumes, but guess it all comes back to compassion. The truly insane are truly alone. cheers, Jess

Mental health is an art sometimes created by science

I have the pills in my cabinet to prove this statement. Trust me on this one. The odd thing is, you must surrender to one to possess the other - or at least that was the case for me. See how you have me thinking in circles? Very good! Provoking thought is a talent; one you have definitely achieved here!
