Every time you post I pause, and tell myself... "I bet GB is a very normal person in real life".
I'm not sure how long I can keep it up to be honest.

He was right, too. A great writer but a diseased mind.
As for "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger", you try having Duchenne's, to name just one example.

Some pundit recently quipped that "Life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person."
Your perspective?
My perspective? Don't try to be more profound than you are intelligent; it never ends in tears, but always in boredom - not for you, but for your audience.
