I thought it would amuse you. And point out that *wanting* is not the same as *needing*. Like the Buddhist doctrine that says unhappiness is the consequence of desire.Not that I don't want to give up much of the time, too.
Sorry if it was obscure. I post many things late at night or very early in the morning, when I'm tired, plus recently my inner chatter has been louder than anything else. It flies off on tangents whenever it can. It alleviates the "just been kicked in the stomach" feeling I have the rest of the time. Posting is therapeutic than way.
