Neurosis revealed!

Steve pointed out that I've been more open about my neuroses lately.  Can't explain that, but I can substantiate it.

Here's my nightmare scenario:  I'm stranded on a tropical island, and the only abundant source of food is coconuts.  Starve to death or subsist on coconuts?  I just don't know.

How hungry would I have to be to eat coconut?  If I reached that point, would I still hate the coconut?  Or could I actually achieve such a level of hunger and delirium that I could mitigate the awfulness of coconut?  As I ate and satisfied hunger, would I then reach a point at which my coconut hatred would return, and I would be unable to eat further?  I mean, then my life becomes a balancing act where I manage two levels of acute suffering, only eating enough coconut to reach that point again where coconut aversion exceeds my desperation.  See what I mean?  Maybe it's better just to starve to death.

And if it's pickles, I will never be hungry enough.  Never.
