Latest Theory

I had to attend a mini-conference yesturday for educators. The opening speaker was great and said something very simple but still profound ~ "It hurts to care" ~ I like this because I really believe it to be true and find that it often explains people's actions or lack of action. People are often way too scared of being hurt and therefore live their life avoiding it. A simple example is turning the channel when a sad story of people suffering comes on the television. Don't get me wrong, we all have our limits, it is the people living in denial of every day horrific suffering to avoid feeling crappy for a couple of minutes.
This is loosly related to my other theory that people who don't like Dr. Phil are the people that are most likely in need of going on the show. I have had conversations with people that actually seem to get angry with Dr. Phil's show. I think a lot of fear comes up for them because they have some big issues that need confronting and even though they will probably never be confronted by Dr. Phil, the feeling of discomfort, fear and panic arise when they see such a "tell it like it is" man on TV.
Please notice I did not have any dot, dot, dots above (...) my sister said it was annoying. I personally feel that it reflects my fluid and choppy thought processes. It will show up again, I promise.
