You mean....you DIDN'T know?!?!
Its not a place we hide, its a place we go.......then hide. Like a bear in a cave!
But you wouldn't understand, because you simply CAN'T go there and CAN'T comprehend. Because we aren't interconnected like you, though you imagine that we are, you are certain we're "hiding" something when we are just....hiding. Sometimes it isn't a conscious decision to go to the "Nothing Box", but as a safety measure, when things get to too high a pitch, our brains will arutomatically go to "nothing".
Really! Its the truth! I swear it! If emotions run to high its not that we want to withdraw, its simply beyond our capability (We are not connected like you are. The Left Brain/Right Brain theory.) and our...well, MY brain, simply shuts down and goes to nothing. Like a test pattern. I really can't go further...its not that I don't want to, there is simply NO THOUGHT.
I know...it makes you crazy! (Crazier?)
Remember the story about the couple who went to the marriage counselor:
Counsellor: "What seems to be the main issue?
Husband: "Whenever we argue, my wife gets historical!"
Counsellor: "Don't you mean hysterical?"
Husband: "No, I mean historical! When she gets angry she brings up everything from our past like it was yesterday."
See...we don't illuminate and imprint everything because our brains are not wired that way. OTH, most of you ladies....... :dribble:
