In the movie Inception, the idea could be placed into one's mind through dreams, and one would wake up and do something about it. The other night I had a dream that my health was slowly withering away and my physical weakness was magnified, even when I woke up. Have I done anything about it? The obvious answer is no, because I am stubborn and convinced myself it was just a dream.

Then I realized that I'm not sure if I learned anything new in the past few years, mostly due to my skepticism or arrogance. The old addage that ignorance is bliss seems to apply to me tenfold. When I was younger, I wanted to know everything that was going on, but now I see knowledge as a liability. If I don't know something, then I can't be held responsible for it.

Avoidance is classic and something I do on the regular. I'm hoping to get a hold of that, I hope you do too.

I can pretty much talk myself out of anything

I can too, unfortunately.
