People deal in emotions, and divvy them out to each other unequally most of the time. It's a constant effort to break even, or at least break away from the Casino, cause you'll go bankrupt trying to win back what you lost. You'll appreciate the drinks, and the camaraderie of your fellow gamblers, but you'll resent the ones who took you for the most when they're on top and you're on the outs. You'll have mixed emotions about the folks you bailed out with a loan who hit jackpot down the line, and you never do. Such is the nature of vulnerability, emotional jeopardy, and holding on to hope when you're unfulfilled. You reach for things that seem real, but they aren't made to last, and as the saying goes, easy come, easy go.
Our emotional states come in waves, and leave with them, whether we are ready for them or not. It's a euphoric and horrifying thing to feel, depending on where you are emotionally, the size of the wave, and the strength of the riptide.
