I have a theory about Stress... Tension, and Fear. They are intimately connected and can lead directly back and forth to each other... pumping up the volume on the way to a panic attack or worse. Stress is caused by unresolved conflict in one's astral body; between what you can see, and what you do not see. Remember... this is just me and my perspective, ♫me, and... my... p-e-r-s-p-e-c-t-i-v-e.. strolling down the avenue♫

This Stress MUST BE processed or it will attack you by attacking affected organs and systems, especially those which are not routinely cleansed of Stress. Love neutralizes Stress. Love displaces Fear, and... and Love bleeds Tension. There's a lot going on in this simple dynamic. Now...

laughter is cathartic. Laughter neutralizes Stress. It puts the heart at ease and The Mind off guard. Herein I understand the wisdom of Ho-Tai. He's another iteration of Santa Claus, “Where's this going Viz?” Where do you want it to go?

In Japan, they ratchet Stress into a tight vibrating knot in the collective diaphragm, and all the hot baths and Geisha Girls are not enough to drain it off... so they work like demons for 50 weeks. Then they board the plane for Thailand and some serious R&R. There are fleets of planes that ferry these wound-up businessmen to Bangkok and OTHER locations. They refer to these planes as The Heart Attack Express, because so many Japanese businessmen die during that period. They just can't process the release; hot tubs and ho's, cigarettes and beakers of Scotch... Viagra vending machines and whatever else is needed to rock out.
