Our emotions, of course, say much more about who we are than do the facts of our lives. All of us have deep-rooted feelings about things from politics to morality, from spirituality to sexuality and the nature of a family. Our beliefs and values, life experiences, upbringing, and our own personal development have helped form our feelings. We reveal them as we become comfortable enough to do so. And that happens, most often, when we sense that we will be accepted for who we are.
