Get this video and more at MySpace.comi don't think anyone should feel stupid or embarrassed for feeling romantic, nostalgic, goofy or corny. it is better to be on the side of goodness. it is better than emotions such as envy, anger, arrogance or judgement --often emerging so much more easily than the others. perhaps this is a darwin thing...revealing emotion makes you feel weak or vulnerable? to me, expression means freedom because i think these emotions are present in everyone. how much we've learned to suppress them is the question?

i'll always remember when i heard that Smith's tune for the first time in junior high when Morrissey sings:

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love

...that will always resonate with me...i equate open expression of feelings as strength...
