It's usually foolish to deal in absolutes, but a couple of things are nearly always certain: 1) if you possess something beautiful, you will eventually lose it, and 2) losing it isn't the end of the world. To the contrary, a man with nothing to lose is a dangerous man. This entry explains how there is inherent disadvantage in possessing beauty (the girl, the car, the watch, and so on), because it is human nature - think biological bias - to assume that you are more qualified to own beautiful things than anyone else. However, there is a clear advantage to being down in the hole, having lost it all. I've been there before, and after the initial torpor, it can be liberating.

It's all about reframing your mind, and that's what this entry is all about. It includes a visualization process for eradicating oneitis syndrome - the bane of the existence of so many.

Enjoy, and input is always welcome. Excuses are not.
