No, not at all! Whatever helps... HELPS!!! So, that's not crazy, it's AWESOME!

I think it can be helpful in many scenarios when things go wrong, to understand why, even in part, even if we can't really change the scenario. I know that, for instance, it helps me when I am in a long depression to remind myself that all of my reactions are conditioned by the depression. Then, even though I might not know how I would react to something if I were healthy, I am aware that it might be different - and less negative. This at least helps not make things worse!
