Dorothy, On Acid

Hold:  To impose restraint upon; to limit in motion or action; to bind legally or morally; to confine; to restrain.

Money and power and sex, oh my - Dorothy.  As in: Wizard of Oz Dorothy, on acid.

Funny how these things that I want take charge of my life the more I want them, the more I try to hang on to them.  If I want something to limit, bind, confine, restrain, or impose upon me the surest way for me to do it is to try to grasp them tightly.  If I want to be controlled then I should try to control.  These instincts are the strangler figs of the moral world.  They slowly grow up around me, choking me, until the center rots away and the only thing left is a great, big old strangler fig.
