Any pernicious process has a point of no return. And to find it behind your shoulders is a harsh discovery. One day, before going on stage, I caught sight of a psychology book lying in the dressing room. I opened it on the first page that came to hand, and the first thought that caught my eye was something like this: “Our consciousness spends a huge amount of effort in the background every second to resist the overwhelming fear of death. Allegedly, our central processor, secretly from ourselves, constantly processes a giant array of mental information related to this topic. And a huge part of our intellectual resources is spent simply to exclude it from the focus of direct attention. However, under the influence of stressful factors, especially if they are closely related to death by themselves, this pipe can burst and then we immediately choke on its contents.”
