In the normal course of my life I feel I have normal powers of mental rationality and morality. When under pressure of work and extreme pain of social awkwardness or loneliness and utter misery I am drawn compulsively to means of temporary escape from reality. It seems that when normal life goes into eclipse, the differences in cultural patterns also fade away, and at the outer edges of behavior, deviant patterns are the same, the world over.
