You thought correctly. <g>

As one who has lived life going with the flow, I can hardly fault your priorities.

I measure the quality of my life to the degree and frequency that I still manage to enter flow. A life without any flow is kind of a disaster for the individual. Regaining flow should be priority number one for that person. And of course it should be regained without drugs or medicine, unless some severe handicap would stand in the way.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
