   ### - no we can't stop what's coming, no one never could...   
      
   one 'can' however be more aware of what's happening around us instead of   
   say curling up in a ball and just hoping it'll all go away? (the default   
   value) - that if a car was speeding towards us it might be better to keep   
   an eye on it instead of pretending it's not even there at all??   
      
   so, here again, there's a fine-line between where sanity lies in this (or   
   any) matter huh...   
      
   i mean, to ignore it altogether would be to poke one's eyes out huh...   
   whereas to be digging a deep hole in the backyard to hide in would be   
   equally insane... (there's people actually doin' that lol)   
      
   the question then being: how to BE more aware (of things) without   
   immediately goin' nuts one way/side or the other! (haha)   
      
   (look man, we can walk upright no problem it just takes practice is all,   
   and maybe a few small bruises heh)   
      
   that perhaps it's not so much about 'what' one knows, so much as how one   
   'handles' what one knows? ;)   
      
   that there might be no actual limit to what one 'can' know, the only   
   limiting factor at-force/in-play being one's own ability to handle it...   
   in which case: adjust that part, just a tiny bit, and things immediately   
   start opening up...   
      
   the only other choice being to remain in wallyworld where nada more than   
   comforting (read: mind-numbing) soap operas ever occur heh, plus why they   
   watch that crap i'll never know; could it be that it actually reflects   
   their own mundane lives fairly accurately and thus they can relate? (damn   
   right it does: it's a direct reflection OF their lives and that's why they   
   likes it!)   
      
   now spread your wings a bit little eagle and... fly ;)
