Blogger Suggests 12 Step Program for Sappy People

Actually, I won't even suggest the 12 step program that is really needed for proper rehab for interaction with the rest of the world. I'm just suggesting a compromise between sappy people of the world and other folk who still relate to the universe as if it existed.

We all know people who are beyond recall when it comes to the course their life has taken. They're hopelessly sappy. They are a syrupy mess. Case closed.

But even though blogger has come to the conclusion that some people's vacation from reality is indefinite, he feels that progress can be made for occasionally calling old friends on cell phone or otherwise interacting with the rest of the world.

The first step for such sappy people is simple: Admit that public sappiness is a terrible thing worthy of apology.

Sappiness is an affront to sensible people everywhere. it should be stopped.

But at the same time, sensible people should come to realize that like a habitual drug user, many sappy people do not have the will power to break their terrible cycle of dependency. Just as many drug users rob 7-11 or steal from their grandmother to support their habit, so many sappy people commit crimes against nature to support their habit (case in point: Normally intelligent male spending 6 hours of his weekend watching PBS Pride and Prejudice to support his habit).

All things being even, there needs to be a recognition on the part of sappy people that their sappiness (displayed for friends and relatives to see, or even just heard about by having to overhear one sided conversations by phone) is a severe disgrace to the inherent dignity of mankind that God has graced us with. Furthermore, non-sappy (sensible) people should recognize that many of their sappy friends are too dependent upon sappiness to fully kick their habit.

Recognition of these issues will go a long way toward restoring occasional forms of normal conversation between those adrift in the neurotic world of sappiness and the sensible folks who are perfectly happy except when confronted with the terrible condition that their loved sappy friends have gotten themselves into.
