That's what I mean...
I guess, too, I never realized just how quickly the double edged sword
of scientific knowledge would quickly turn a positive thing into
something negative, and I certainly never saw my own lifestyle reverting
back to the old ways...if you had asked me what my life now would be
like back then, I probably would have described something akin to a
Jetsonian existence instead of a Flintstonian existence...lol... it's a
weird twist.

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit.  It's like "Just Do It!" & "Go for It!")
