However, I use a lot of time in organizing experiences, so that I don't allow myself to be drained. It's not always easy to separate one's own from that of others.

They do that? Geez, I gotta start watching the right films!! There is that issue of how often do you laugh out loud when watching the same film when in the house alone. There are certain things I will laugh out loud at. Family Guy and Futurama (ok, tv shows, not movies) have the ability to make me laugh out loud on my own, but watching them with friends does bring a lot more to anything you are watching. The energy created by having several people laughing at once an make something a compeltely different experience. Laughing in films? They do that? Geez, I gotta start watching the right films!!

It was something that everyone in the theater had been waiting so long for and when the Lucas Films trademark popped up on the screen the whole theater went nuts.

The power of emotional energy can be great, particularly when there is a motivatimg force like a supreme orator - think The Nuremberg Rallies or the speeches of Martin Luther King. People and emotions do connect but how events progress can often result in how much control people have over their emotions. I'm actually a very emotional/sensitive person and can pick up even very minor changes in those around me but there have been occasions when I've held back. The most notable of these was when I went, as a teenager, to Coventry in the UK to see The Pope. As he drove through the crowds in his flashy little number (ho, ho) there was a lot of emotion flowing through the crowd; people crying out "We love you Jean Paul!" This time I have to say I did not feel part of the crowd - it can be also very dangerous - I just kept thinking how easily it could have been another leader - like Hitler - how easy it would be swept away on a tide of emotions. There are a lot of people out there who have probably done some dreadful things on the back of emotional behaviour... sometimes we need to draw back and think logically. The movie analogy is very valid. But here's a question for you - When was the last time you were in a movie theatre and the audience burst out in spontaneous loud applause? I mean the real thing, not just a token ripple? For me it was back in the eighties ( I think!)at one of the Star Trek movies (no 3 I think) and even though no one but the auduence was there to appreciate it - you know it felt really good. I've seen a host of movies since but the same thing has never happened. Do you think it was because Star Trek has been part of many peoples lives for so long we felt we really knew the characters and so lived and died with them or it was just a real good movie? Kinda interesting eh? Yep, I talk too much! Well this is an interesting article and has a lot of truth in it.
