The Wizard of Oz

Which character from the Wizard of Oz do you most identify with?

There's the lion, afraid of everything; afraid to act, afraid to do. There's the scarecrow, going through life without really knowing what's going on, happy to be ignorant. Or maybe not happy, but at least willing. The tinman, cold and emotionless, distant from life. And then there's Dorothy. She's the helpless one, unable to make decisions without someone else's help.

Which one are you?

Me, I identify with the Wizard. The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. Wise and All-Knowing, Feared by all, dispensing wisdom and knowledge from his Great Tower in the Emerald City. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz...who is really just a man with a microphone behind a curtain. Not really powerful. Just a man, living in fear of the day that someone pulls back the curtain and he is exposed for the fraud that he is.

A man who is not really that wise. All he knows is that we're all not really who we seem to be. The lion really isn't a coward. The scarecrow has some wisdom himself and the tinman has a heart afterall. And Dorothy, well she had the means to get home all along. And there's no place like home.
