This statement bothered me. I got the feeling that what I do is misunderstood by Cowtown. That ultimately caused me some pain/sadness. So to clarify I want to talk about the issue of Controling events and emotions.
We as humans have some control over what we do and the course our lives are taking, however when that random number drops out of the sky it can alter our schedule permanently.
Cowtowns use of the word "restrained" and "polite" infers controling ones emotions or actions. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We only try to control our feelings, yet no matter what they exist. If we try to restrain them then we are bottling them up. Any vessel under pressure has the potential to be explosive. The key is to let your feelings flow so that eventually an equilibrium exists, by continually letting off the pressure. Therby exists the paradox that by not trying to control ones feelings we gain greater control over our lives. Thus it is the truth when I say I am completely out of control, and that I have no emotional stake in my rantings over at the other place. I am not just saying this, I actually practice what I preach, and it was a hard won lesson.
Now for some of you the Red Sea should just have parted, and the light of day should be streaming in as to understanding what I do.
