We will be alienated from ourselves and each other. If we cannot truly know and share our emotions we cannot truly know and understand each other. To the extent that we are alienated from each other's understandings of self and others as emotional creatures we are likely to seek to treat each other as objects in objective, coercive, manipulative, and violent ways. Such behaviors serve no honest or creative purposes; they act to further alienate us from ourselves and from each other. If it is not safe for us to demonstrate to each other how we feel, we cannot be demonstrative in meaningfully dramatic ways; we cannot show our true feelings and so we repress them until they explode in some destructive violence. Thus many apparently nice people suddenly become violent in ways which even their closest "friends" and "family" do not understand and cannot explain. They were not intimately known by anybody and in their alienation and frustration finally express all their repressed emotions violently in a desperate attempt to get back in touch with themselves. It is thus not safe for us to repress our emotions in dishonest ways. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
