Subject: Re: o/t, rational walk, since you are no longer
To explain my maybe confused words: If you are a little boy, on a hot summer day with your pals in a public swimming area, tempted to jump from the super-high 10m jump but at the same time scared to do it, announce to your pals "I will jump from the 10m jump!". Then you have to do it.
It might not be rational, but it fulfills a purpose (and that way it actually is rational).
