Word of the day

I just looked at a notepad I keep next to the chair in my bay window — where I do most of my reading, a whole lot of my random thinking and a fair amount of my at-home phone conversing — and I saw I had written the following. I am trying to remember the source.

Pronoid — adj. A mental state in which you think the world is out to help you.

I've never enjoyed that particular delusion. But it sure sounds swell, don't you think?

Except for the part where people would take advantage of me. But then, maybe I'm just being paranoid.
