Campbell's 'Hero's Journey.' That's just how it is.

Well Dorothy is suppose to be a ten year old. What do ten year old seek? Home , Love , Happyness , Joy , Laughter , Fun , Love from Family , Security\Safety , and Discipline. When those elements are like zero , darn right one would leave to find a better place. And if they ball and chain her then an imaginary lesibian??

Now you're in NY and I was from NY. And if Kansas is a better place for me than NY - I go there.

But if someone told you that the yellow brick road led to NY to meet the wizard.

Then I guess thats the Micheal Jackson version of the wizard of OZ.

Have you taken a poll from people. Ask them to give their unbiased opinion of you (freedom to praise or scream at you) and you would not engage but strictly listen. It be an eye opener or a fireball or a gold star.

From an old song , "Accentuate the Positive ... Strip away all the Negatives ..." Meaning there is a good person in there in you. Mmmm , if you're in NY - Its some where in HIDING deep inside you.

Seriously , look into the mirror again and gaze into the humanity thats in you. That humanity you will find and maybe be exactly whom you're looking for in others.

If the wizard of oz meant for you to go on a journey to free and discover your humanity then thats a journey worth taking.

Provided that after discovery you keep it under lock and key , you know you're in NY not Kansas.
