Do I zeem unkind? Alvays calling you crazy…Show me zome sanity in zis vorld und you vill get my apologies. Craziness iz everywhere and in everyone, my job iz to help you to manage it. I am qualified to do zis. I have a great record of sudden cures.

Sometimes, vhen za vorld iss collapsing around you, it iz comforting to know you are not ze only one who is crazy. Sometimes it does not matter a damn who iz crazy ozer zan you. Regular readers of these messages know zat I am very familiar with craziness. It iz my job. I do not approach zis job from zome elitist "saner than thou" point of view either. No. My own problems make yours look quite tame. My vife has not returned from Lausanne. She has left me to return to my delusional double. She suspects zhat I myself am a delusional double. It is reasonable to point out zhat if ze Dag Halfredt in Switzerland iz a delusion, he should not be able to exist on his own. Or, if he does, zhen I should not be able to exist. My own treatment of myself vas to move away to Canada after I encountered him. If he vas some normal delusion, he vould have followed me. That would make some kind of sense.

But life is not so easy. There is something qvite abnormal about zis abnormality. The main problem with the craziness iz zat most of us do not have time for it. Ve have things to do. How do I deal with ziss severe challenge to my observations of reality? Like you I am hoping it vill just go away.

Meanwhile, it is quite zome relief to talk every day to people who zink zhey have problems. If your problems are bigger zhan zhis, I vould love to hear about zhem. Ze bigger zhey are ze better zhey make me feel. I am not unkind. A little rude maybe, but I am under a lot of stress. I zink maybe my wife might be crazy. I zink zhat my life might be crazy. Beat zhat amateurs! Bring me your petty problems. Zhey are nothing to a professional like me.
