...the way a water dam works is the floodgates have to be opened
every now and then, when the water reaches a certain level and it might get too
much for the structure to hold. If this is not done, the structure might
weaken, collapse and cause major damage, not to mention the fact that it can
flood the areas around it. I wonder if it is so with our ideas and feelings. We
think and feel so many things at the same time and with varying intensity that
it's a wonder people don't implode. For some people, it's easy. They have a
built-in floodgate that allows them to naturally release 'water' when it
reaches a certain level. But for others, there are no floodgates. Or
maybe, the gates have not been opened for so long it's gotten stuck or has
become embedded in the walls. I wonder if a crowbar is enough to pry it open…
