Lurking

Lurking deep down inside of every single one of us is a psychotic, antisocial maniac just ready to pounce on others, or ourselves.

I watched a small, demure little female medical student, who I thought was the definition of stable and quiet resolve, completely "lose it" the other day on someone else. Fortunately no blood was shed, but it clearly drove home the point that we all have battles and challenges in our lives, and we never ever know when it'll come out. She told me today that she has never done that in her life.

Keeping vigilant...with real awareness, and a constancy of inner strength certainly is a great goal, but it is a great challenge under stress. Never know when our lurking psychotic will come out.
