Yes, You Have Cancer. Yes, Your Kids Are On Drugs. Yes, There Is An Elephant Outside Your Tent. Now The Question Becomes, What Are You Going To Do About It? Subsequent Emotions May Not Be Pleasant, But The Hysteria Stops. Hysteria Accompanies An Unwillingness To Look At What Is Really Going On; It Promotes An Unwillingness To Look. We Feel We Are Afraid To Look, When Actually It Is Not-looking That Makes Us Afraid. The Minute We Look, We Cease Being Afraid.
