Jonathon and I saw a lovely movie yesterday called In And Out 2. It had been so long since In And Out that I did not recall it until I saw the characters illustrating the girl’s emotions at their control panel in her head. The famous angry comic Lewis Black was the red gremlin of anger.

We like to think that we are of sugar, spice, and everything nice when we all have some snails and puppy dog tails. Not that there is anything wrong with that Jerry Seinfeld would tell us. All of our emotions make us who we are. We are a complex creation.

We all make mistakes daily. We are residents of Assumptions, a vast city containing rooms hidden in rooms and doors that open into large falls. We are angry with others and do not remember why. We do not speak up for fear of embarrassment. We have anxiety based on our experiences both real and assumed.

It is not the falling it is the getting back up. In fact, most of life is ‘Get Up.’ Success is just within our grasp if we get up and continue down life’s magical and mystical road.

Emotions are our constant companions. Soon we will have a Presidential Election and many of us will vote according to our emotions. We rely on instinct and intuition. Facts are as dry as leaves in December. Emotions often replace the rudder of our ship. I have witnessed people quit good jobs because their instinct told them to do so.

Alice In Wonderland is the home for many of us. We enjoy living in our fantasy construct. If we could see inside each other’s heads what a vision of a pleasant land it would be.
