The human mind is a complex thing, a biological wonder. But, it can be so fragile, even the smallest of things can mess with ones own perceived stability. Of course, that has a logical purpose. After all, the human mind was built with the intention of survival. But this is the modern world. Survival typically isn't the biggest concern anymore. The mind breaks under the stress, unable to cope. After realizing that, you begin to notice that the mind breaks under any extreme. And you begin to wonder if the whole thing is just some kind of cruel joke.
