No matter who we are, what we do, or what path our life has taken, we carry mental baggage around with us. Think of that load as a glass of water. The ideal liquid setting would be around the half-full mark, but our depths can change constantly – hourly, daily, weekly, monthly – and drastically. Should the vessel become overloaded – say, with a mental injury – the water level is likely to be near the brim, where adding the smallest of drops can be enough for the glass to overflow, which then throws us into a spin.
