The OwnKnow Syndrome. You or a Loved One May Have It. Take Care.

If there isn't something called the OwnKnow Syndrome (OKS), there should be.  I must believe I'm not the only soul in the world so afflicted.  The symtoms are thus: overabundance of good intentions; deep and wide curiosity; a tendency to hang out wherever large or small quantities of (real) books are gathered; issues of a personal nature having to do with a wish to achieve certain levels of various kinds of development; a desire to bring order out of chaos; a repeated sense of drowning or, in milder cases, floundering, in a sea of really good advice; having repeated but unrealized 'ah-ha' moments; and finally, the debilitating aspect of this syndrome, the purchase of numerous books & magazines, CDs & DVDs that the OKS sufferer believes contain solutions, ways out of the chaos, DIY for the soul, and these items might actually have just what the OKS sufferer needs, but these potential solutions are never read or listened to or watched.  The syndrome somehow changes the thought process so that the OKS person believes that merely owning these items will impart to them the wisdom or answers or suggested paths or processes that might be within said items.  The books pile up, CDs gather dust, and DVDs go missing while the OKS soul can't figure out why the latest purchase with the fantastic plan didn't work.  I'm thinking of forming an OKS support group. I wonder if there are any books on it.  I'll get back to you.
