Yes, I know the film is 'I, Robot' and I, Martin, but it made ya look, didn't it?
Anyway, I watched this film again the other night. In it, the hero is investigating a suspicious death and he can communicate with the deceased only through a pre-recorded holographic message from the dead guy. This hologram can only react in two ways in response to questions asked by the hero - either it does not understand or with 'now that's the right question'.
Well, as I've been using this site and listening to what many people say, I find that often I react in a thought/feeling way, I might both understand what someone is saying, yet also respond in an emotionally wobbling way, such as when dear theVoicewithinMe said the words 'silent cry for help' last week. Then I take this reaction away and consider it.
I feel like the hero and hologram combined, that my body gives me clues to what is happening, has happened to me, emotional clues that my head cannot control or suppress, and that I can only see these clues in relationship with others. If I begin to cry when reading someone's post, especially if I'm crying in response to words that 'shouldn't' engender tears, it seems that my body is saying 'now that's the right question'.
Does this make sense?
