Benefits

I wonder, often, about my anxiety disorder. I wonder if anxiety disorder might not be the human brain attempting and failing to adapt to the modern world. Look at the imaginary things we have created that can steal our ability to survive. Taxes and rent and mortgage payments. Think about the abstracted ways other people are allowed to oppress us. Performance reviews, and report cards, and home owner associations. We have trapped ourselves in and imaginary cage, and we allow it to torture us.

There are benefits. But I wonder if the cost of those benefits are worth it.
