To survive in a place that thrives on those that easily burn out is a job that I love to do. One must have a sense of abnormality or insanity to work in a chaotic enviorment. For kids can smell fear like a predator to it's wounded prey. New employees are considered fresh meat and I often wonder will they make it out alive from the insane asylum.
Insanity is an artform, an artform that is easily perfected by so many. Many have passed through the hallowed halls of the asylum only to be swallowed up whole by the sheer magnitude of madness. For it's a pressure cooker and one small thing can set off a chain reaction of events that not even Superman can stop.
It's basically a battle of mind games, a trategy like any other. If compared to, it is a game of chess, where each move is critical. We may try to get in their minds and vise versa. See what they see, think how they think, feel how they feel like an FBI profiler trying to catch their elusive criminal.
On the other side of the spectrum it is the kid's job to push the buttons and totally disrupt order that was one chaos. One must be a little insane, nuts, cuckoo, etc. to work in a place like this. You have to keep them off balance, keep them guessing at what we are going to do next. It keeps the kids wondering, for they don't know what is coming next. Keeping them off gaurd and without them knowing it, pulling the rug from under them, in a manner of speaking.
Insanity is a state of mind that will get a person thought the tough times of life. You have to be a little bit insane in a world that is getting way to serious. Survival is the name of the game that is dominated by kids 24/7. You won't know if you're coming or going, for the straight jacket is always near by. Welcome to my world,would you like to step into it?
