It's a state of mind. It's where you lose yourself and find yourself. You don't know it yet, but you've got it. It's right there. I saw you with those guys, you're a pit bull. They didn't back you down an inch. And that is very rare in this world.
That's how people deal with horror. They tell jokes about it, laugh about it. Laugh at it and make it a little less scary. The alternative is insanity.
