"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Just in case you ever toyed with the idea of getting therapy.
No. Don't. Whatever your problems, these people are more messed up than you are. Talk to your priest or minister or rabbi. Chat with a bartender. Hang out at a coffee shop with little traffic and a sympathetic barista. Take a long taxi ride with a chatty and insightful driver. Hell, get a Magic 8 Ball.
Just don't talk to these people in the mental health business.

Her name is from Sindh in India. Look Indians don't talk like this anywhere else, or didn't used to before we all became very US-influenced. Only in the USA and especially if they're US educated - something there makes them nuts. And then the nutty ones get promoted there, while in India women like that are ignored if they can't keep control of their tongue.
But anyway here's what some Indians say about Sindhis: 'If you see a snake and a Sindhi on the road, kill the Sindhi first'.
Bruce: Haw! Reminds me of an old joke about lawyers. If you were locked in a cage with a tiger, a gorilla and a lawyer, and you had a gun with only two bullets, what should you do? Shoot the lawyer - twice.
I don't know if the prevalence of lefties in therapy is anything but that lefties are more likely to want someone to Do Something!, while a righty will 'rub dirt on it' and get back in the game. Plus, those effers are crazy!

Not to worry. The FBI has files. They'll take care of.
