   Actually, I think there is a little bit difference between us. Do you   
   realize what I recommended is something that would cost you a great   
   deal of mental and physical energy? It's not something I would   
   recommend as an example of everyday living. It's only meant for doing   
   something you love. If you drive a car with that kind of mental state,   
   you put yourself in grave danger.
