What happens to the emotions of a person if they are beaten down early in life?  Do they get beat so that they submerge?  Cease to exist?  Go into hiding?  Does this happen to men more?  Or is it just as likely in women?  Are emotions acquired as family characteristics such as laughter or other recognizable mannerisms?  What does it take to open the door and let them out?  A knowledge of God (a knowledge of his personal characteristics)?  Why did people want to hang around Jesus and to touch him? 
 

Would he ever break a bruised reed or quench smoking flax?  Does he gently lead those that are with young?  Did he ever enfold a little child in his arms?  Did he ever say, leave her alone?  Did compassion and mercy ever find places in his heart?  What is the electricity that charges his stories?  Rejoice with me!  Fear not!  Be of good cheer!  Come to me!  All things are ready!  Let us make merry!  Come and dine!  Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace!  Weep not!  And there were also stern rebukes and warnings to those who were in trouble for opposing him.
