An effective channel... a captivating form for our expressions... a sublime appearence, suggestive of meaning, generating the conviction of dynamic purity... reinforced by mood, supported by atmosphere, affirmed by reactions... oh well, enough trying to babble about it. Like that non-crazy guy in the film _Taxi Driver_ said, "You're only as happy as you feel." Though the problem for us is more like, "You're only as GOOD as you feel." That's most of our identity problem. "My reactions are ME, so in order to feel good about myself, I must surround myself with objects, events, and persons that give me feelings, or even symbolic impressions, of power, beauty, and nobility - representative of all the things I want to be."
