Commandant: "As you were."

It's all about playing your cards right.

Since everything is temporary, people shouldn't get too emotionally attached to things else they might think of the pang of loss too much when they lose that something that they hold dear. Indeed, people can't help doing so, but I reckon that this is essential in order for them to deal with DABDA more efficiently. Efficiency = productivity; productivity = happiness... yes, productive people are happy people, not the other way around.

Everything can be explained by science.

There are a lot of things that we question in our lives, I've had more that my fill too. If you're looking for answers, well, science can explain it. Two things: either you ignore these questions you answer them. I, for one, chose the latter during my non-alexithymic days. Although, after a while, you get tired of looking for 'em, the answers, that is, and the former'd be more appealing. Yeah, not a care in the world.

The Internal Locus of Control = happy days.

If a person possessed the Internal Locus of Control, and is aware of it, I believe that he'd/she'd lead a far less miserable life. Since you believe that you control your destiny, you wouldn't be blaming the weather, your misfortune, the stars, the black cat, etc. for the things that made your day/life pretty shitty. Instead, you'd only blame yourself, for being the fuck up that you are, recognize your weakness, and do something about it.
