And it sticks. I mean, focus your attention in that little world of meanings and symbols long enough and you’ll tend to get stuck there.

But reality is infinitely larger than that little world. So to stay there, in that little world, to have your perspective altered like that all the time, is a bit unhealthy and insane.

But this is considered normal. Encouraged even.

    I think was a Bill Hicks joke (as best i remeber it):
    So I was at a waffle house reading a book and the waitress comes and asks me, “What are ya reading for?”
    Not “What are you reading?” but actually asking why I’m reading.
    I told her “So I dont end up as a fucking waitress at Waffle House!”
