Now I know why my clients look at me stupid when I suggest that they keep a journal of their thoughts. It’s therapeutic! It will help you resolve inner conflicts and conflicts with others without negative confrontation! It will help you reduce stress! It’s ridiculous. I feel like I’m twelve.
This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It (Audiobook) 2012
Warning: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. This is not a metaphor. You will dismiss this as ridiculous fearmongering. Dismissing things as ridiculous fearmongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection - the creature secretes a chemical into the brain to stimulate skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure. That’s just as well, since the “cure” involves learning what a chain saw tastes like. You can’t feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings. You can’t see it, because it decides what you see. You won’t even feel it when it breeds. And it will breed.
"The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky written in 1877. It chronicles the experiences of a man who decides that there is nothing to live for in the world, and is therefore determined to commit suicide. A chance encounter with a young girl changes his mind.
