Messenger:        
It
is pressure that happens
                       
to an already tense situation that
                       
can push a big-gong-button —
Pressure is what we must deal with —
                           
A man going around crying "I quit"
                       
has pressure, if his wife burns his
                       
breakfast or forgot to wash his socks,
                       
these  incidents applying pressure may
                       
be the trigger that sets him off, but
                       
the socks weren't the real issue at all.
                           
The situation is tense already,
                       
a mike doesn't work.
                           
A man can create tremendous
                       
pressure — pressing down
constantly
                       
doing things over and over again and finally
                       
his wife may scream on the 100th little
                       
thing because of built up pressure
                       
inside.
                           
A person who has stuffed hurt feelings
                       
every time his family goes away and leaves
                       
him, has all the stuffed hurts and then the
                       
last one triggers one more —
                           
like rubber bands in a box —
                           
he had to deal with the truth of the
                               
matter when he was hurt and
                               
angry long ago rather than
                               
stuffing them in a cannon
                               
like powder, until there is
                               
enough to fire
                           
The woman crying may be more centered
                       
in truth than the man looking calm.
                           
He can project his anger on her and use
                       
passive-aggressive ways like the devil
                       
hammering on Christ in the garden to
                       
give up, Christ is God — He did
not give in,
                       
but the man looking to express anger and get 
                       
someone to act it out for him —
doesn't
                       
stop many times until the anger is acted 
                       
out by the other.
                           
He may not have ever worked out
                       
his feelings — he pounds on her in
                       
passive-aggressive ways controlling
                       
events around her, till she blows and
                       
acts out his anger or feelings. A person
                       
in relationships can keep relationships
                       
very dysfunctional — where one
always
                       
remains "calm and cool" and keeps doing
                       
passive-aggressive ways and manipulations until
                       
a certain party displays their emotions
                       
and then the manipulative party gets
                       
relief, remains calm and is ready
                       
until their next problem that needs
                       
expression and like an assembly line
                       
putting corks in a bottle — they
turn
                       
the assembly line on to pop the cork
                       
of their feeling expressive mate —
                           
like a man going and putting a record
                       
on an old phonograph — he could
                       
use her like the phonograph to sing
                       
his angry song, but more than that
                       
feel his emotion and act out his pain.
                           
Did you see a cowboy who has a
                       
rope and makes a lasso and catches
                       
cows — think of this —
                           
the cow will resist, but in
                           
the end he is caught in the
                           
rope and sings a cry in
                           
desperation —
                       
He is a cow —
                       
the other man the "cowboy"
                       
The cowboy's dad was a "cowboy" —
                       
His mom was the feeler — the
                           
one screaming in pain.
