It's hard to believe that I've survived this long without knowing the proper term for something I struggled with even before I was an adult. It's something I think about nearly every day it seems, trying to shed light on it. But doing so can require empathy and understanding which is just not very popular with the people I talk to. In regard to these mental habits; I am of course at risk of intoxication from the same poisonous fruit. "Knowing" conveys "conclusion", and without investing time, care and effort to Understand, a conclusion may as well be just another Dead End.
