Hey!, do what works! [I'm glad it does]
 The point behind all this is that everything can be useful even if we
don't know what's going on.

We do all appreciate our little volcanoes, don't we?
 It's part of the fun. It's how we tell each other and ourselves about our
ideas of ourselves and learn, if we listen.
 But, ya just never know what you'll learn from who or where because, by
definition, it's something you didn't know you didn't know.
 You can even be your own greatest teacher.

 In times of great disturbence, I used to write all my thoughts down and
put them away for a year.
 It became pretty undeniably clear that I can distort anything and believe
it...that most, if not all of that which was bothering me, came from me and
was being projected outward for others to validate for me. [which, in my
opinion, they always did]
 In other words, I can fool me better than any one else anywhere. There
were a few 'sane' people who scurried away. Validation again.

Ex Smokers seem to be the most avid anti smokers.  If the villian they
rejected as a villian in order to kick it out the door gains any tolerance
at all...danger!
 All the cancers are your proof and those smokers that outlive you,
ignored. That's how validation works.
The active defense requires and active attack. If that works?  OK.
Everything takes what it takes. [sounds sorta stressful though]
 If I feel attacked, I know where to look. [right straight at me]
 It's not me that's being attacked. It's an active defense being used for a
purpose that's in the process of working to keep the villian vilified and
away from the door. [Maybe I'll cough for you]

 A wife is an angel of desire and a hope for the future.  An ex wife is a
witch and a past gone bad.
 It's the same person seen from a different viewpoint. She doesn't know
she's a witch. She doesn't know what she taught you.  Teachers 'never' know
what they're teaching.

 I'll consider that no viewpoints are valid 'because' all viewpoints can be
convincingly validated...especially mine, no matter how crazy, staring
right at me from that piece of paper.

 OK, I'm totally insane. There's my very own proof that I can never know
what I'm doing so long as it's believable.  I can use that.

 But then, if I take the viewpoint that I always succeed, all I have to do
is look around me to see what I was doing while you were co-operating with
and validating my insanity. [That's a collective 'you' as in others,
events, not "you" in particular.]

 Humm, now that was a brilliant failure!
 I can use that.
