I can totally relate to Nuno sa Punto! I was on-location in Bulacan filming of all things, a horror film called Shake Rattle and Roll 2 I walked in the talahib and had to keep saying, tabi tabi lang, po-- over and over again. I was so scared to hurt any of them. I was totally paranoid.
C. G. Jung wrote about what he (or his translators) called "psychological reality." For example, biology says that the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Virgin Birth cannot be literally true. But enough people believe in this doctrine that it has taken on the weight of a psycholgical truth, which means that even though it cannot be true, it might as well be.
