People want you agitated so you won't own your own emotional reactions to things. It is in this way that they can step in and exploit you. You may think it's harmless and innocent what and who you give your attention to and more importantly, your sanction, but you risk being dragged into something that is unphilosophical and does not serve you at your deeper levels.

It was a lighter week this week for me. The oxalate thing has really kicked my ass. The symptoms you show with them going in is also the same symptom set you get with them going out. Much appreciating you guys being here with me today. A burst of gratitude! Tonight the wife and I are finishing up a movie from the 80's called The Accidental Tourist that we REALLY have enjoyed, 2/3rds of the way through. So, I recommend it.
