Danae’s version of spirituality has more in common with Scientology than spirituality. The credo of the confidence man or woman selling a product to the “morons” she can get to buy. Fortunately she hasn’t found the benefits of a higher education so she will be handicapped by her lack of knowledge.

Danae, your mantra is incomplete, since it doesn’t address situations where stuff — e.g., your book report — doesn’t “happen”.

In psychoanalytic theory, reaction formation (German: Reaktionsbildung) is a defensive process (defense mechanism) in which emotions and impulses which are anxiety-producing or perceived to be unacceptable are mastered by exaggeration (hypertrophy) of the directly opposing tendency.

The weakness with Danae’s mantra is that it can be used in reverse against her . . . “Here’s your ‘F’, stuff happens, get over it” (LOL)
