Insanity

Insanity can be defined as “doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.”  The trick to this definition is what you define as “doing the same thing.”  Its easy to convince ourselves that what we’re doing this time is actually different than the last 25 times, and this time it will really work.

Damn you consciousness, for giving us humans such an exquisite ability to fool ourselves.
