The phone rings, your family just got crushed by a runaway truck.
The phone rings, the company you founded and spend every waking hour of the last four years has a hostile take-over. They are firing you and you find out that the structure of the shares is in such a way that you walk away with peanuts.
The phone rings, your mother is in de hospital, she will probably die before next dawn. You are six thousand miles away.
You know, the gnarly stuff of life.
Bad things happen to almost everyone some of the time. Do you see nearly all of the people on the planet broken down, pshychotic? If you do, I think the problem is with the observer.
Most people are sane despite dealing with bad stuff, which proves the assertion wrong.
I mean, you are probably a very stable genius at the moment, but not everybody is and you might not be that for ever. Things can change. If your endocrine system gets a hit somewhere and you get hit by this kind of news. You probably will go into a bad place. I know someone who was severely dehydrated from a viral infection, got into a delirium, then had to recover for 6 years, and still is not the same now.
