   I just watched the movie 'House At The End Of The Street'   
   two days ago. The movie was about a guy who murdered his   
   abusive parents by stabbing them to death. I'm not a movie   
   watcher. I might watch maybe two movies a year.   
      
   What is the likelihood a similar theme would make headline   
   news, so soon after watching the movie?

   In regards to your question though. Yes, I would say 'No'   
   I don’t confuse discomfort with error. I accept myself as   
   a fact, not a goal. I have no emotional investment in   
   being otherwise. Wishing to be different feels decorative,   
   not necessary. I like fantasies, but I don’t grant them   
   authority or that much value.
