I think I've figured it out!! [View all]

I think we might be experiencing a thing like I saw on TV long ago in the '70's. There was an adaptation of a Bruce Jay Friedman play titled "Steambath" and it starred Bill Bixby. It wasn't really comedy but "contemplative satire" might describe it better. It is available on the Tube. I'm not going to give too much away but he finds himself suddenly in this steambath with a bunch of people he doesn't know and they don't seem to know why they are there either. It is a sort of purgatory is all I'll say. But that must be what has happened to all of us amid this madness.

Somehow we are all here in our rational selves and we're in purgatory. So given the idea that we all must have died and now we're stuck here until we "purge" ourselves of our sins and can't leave the madness until we do it reminded me of "Steambath". Now having said this, and thinking that I don't get to "elevate" until we all are ready, I wish you people would get on with the sin purging already because this is too much. Yes that's right. You there over in the corner! If you don't stop doing that we're never getting out of here. How much madness can I be expected to take?
