Real freedom is creative proactive and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.
I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in.
Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.
First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale I would say they're reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that.

You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and most importantly you give it the feeling that it's special. I think people react to celebrities like that - I mean they treat celebrities like children.
When we were scared about 9/11 we federalized the airport security we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination.
By action and reaction do we become strong or weak according to the character of our thoughts and mental states. Fear is the deadly nightshade of the mind.
The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.
People react to fear not love they don't teach that in Sunday School but it's true.
Some of the things you read you get an immediate reaction to so I've stopped reading things now. I do worry about my family though. Some people do try some nasty things to get at them and try and get a reaction from them.
A growing awareness of the depth of popular attachment to the family has led some liberals to concede that family is not just a buzzword for reaction.
I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home my family doesn't discuss media coverage.
I spent four months in Prague in these blue rooms reacting to nothing and you basically place your faith in the hands of the director and the special effects co-coordinator and you keep your fingers crossed and hope that the creatures look really scary.
Ultimately it's a leap of faith and a leap of imagination to put yourself back in time into those conditions and situations and see how you would react.
In Torch Song I did that character almost non-stop from 1978 until I made the movie in 1987. Then I had some failure which also colors how you react to doing other things.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
