“Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.” --Richard Carlson
There are people who take action to minimize stress. There are people who take action to create stress. There are people who freely admit to feeling exhilarated when life is at its most stressful.
I have a test to discover who the sane people are. I share that I identify as Buddhist. If I receive a reaction that is indifferent or one of acceptance, then I know I’ve met a sane person. If I receive a reaction that is defensive or full of “hateful humor”1 then I know I’ve met a crazy fucker.
1 I’ll deal with this one at a later date.
