There is craziness that is created any time two humans, with their foo, interact. This, too, is foo.
There is craziness that is created any time a human being interacts with the rest of the world. This, again, is foo.
Foo exists. Foo must be dealt with. While the goal, always, is to live in the least foo possible, foo will never be eradicated.
But do not lose hope, grasshopper. There are certain principles that can assist us in our task as foo fighters. The first and most important is this:
Like any stray animal, if you feed the foo it will follow you home. Let me say it again, for this is the crucial central principle:
Foo fed is foo that will grow. Do not under any circumstances nourish foo.
And the second principle is related:
If the foo you are dealing with at the moment is owned by a particular person, do not attempt to fight the foo by appealing to that person's rational being or sense of logic. When in the grasp of foo, none of us has full access to rationality; we may not have any access to rationality.
Accept that they are currently possessed by foo. Seek solutions that do not require their assistance.
These two principles will do much to reduce the foo in your life, and the less foo there is, the easier it is to cope with the foo that remains.
