So -- THE Question I need to ask myself when I think about calling folks.. such as my parents -- what do I want? What do I think will result from the call? Something new? Something different? Something good? OR - same old, same old....
MOSTLY the answer certainly is - same old same old... Nothing new. Nothing different and nothing good.
I am constantly battling my urges to ... go to that old dry well OR I am expecting a different result THIS time even as I/we do the same thing - and that is the way to madness. It is one of the defining characteristics of insanity some say.... "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." This would certainly apply to scientists... and to other rationalists. Irrationalists might believe in MIRACLES... And there may be miracles ??? Somewhere and sometime. For those people and situations who are very special, different, extraordinary. Miracles are absolutely NOT THE NORM... And I am rather normal, hopefully not insane and SO... I need to not do certain things....!!
I am getting much better at that! Hurrah!
Besides -- in some situations I am not sure I want anything ... really... SO why do something where no results I desired and where danger lies? No reason. That would be crazy, too.
