There just seems to be a lot of "blame everybody but myself for my discontent" going around lately. How can you have no control over your own life but believe somebody else does? And why would you think somebody else would <i>want</i> anything to do with your life, much less sabotage it? There are about half a dozen psychiatric disorders going on there. .
