A young girl comes home after half a day of moderate work. There are dirty dishes in the sink, laundry to be done, groceries to be shopped for, litter to be scooped and recycling to be taken out. Does she:
A: Have a healthy lunch, then go about her chores
B: Have a bite to eat, surf the net for a while and then snap to it
C: Eat two chocolate cup-cakes with sprinkles, surf the net for three hours and then start into that new book by Carl Hiaasen
If you picked A or B, you must be one of those rare 'functional' people one hears about. Congratulations.
If you picked C, you either know me or you're a shrewd observer of human nature. Feel free to reward yourself with a cupcake.

"Powers and Dominions, Deities of Heaven!-- /
For, since no deep within her gulf can hold /
Immortal vigour, though oppressed and fallen,/
I give not Heaven for lost: from this descent/
Celestial Virtues rising will appear/
More glorious and more dread than from no fall,/
And trust themselves to fear no second fate!--/
Me though just right, and the fixed laws of Heaven,/
Did first create your leader--next, free choice/
With what besides in council or in fight/
Hath been achieved of merit--yet this loss,/
Thus far at least recovered, hath much more/
Established in a safe, unenvied throne,/
Yielded with full consent. The happier state/
In Heaven, which follows dignity, might draw/
Envy from each inferior; but who here/
Will envy whom the highest place exposes/
Foremost to stand against the Thunderer's aim/
Your bulwark, and condemns to greatest share/
Of endless pain? Where there is, then, no good/
For which to strive, no strife can grow up there/
From faction: for none sure will claim in Hell/
Precedence; none whose portion is so small/
Of present pain that with ambitious mind/
Will covet more!
--Paradise Lost, John Milton
