"All events big and small occur for the sole purpose of leading us all on our parallel paths to a better outcome." - Wendell James McCormick There's a medieval theory that suggests one's personality is related to the relative portions of the four humors (blood, bile, phlegm, and black bile) within ones physical make-up. Of these, if blood is predominant, he will display a temperament marked by optimism and a readiness to fall in love; a temperament known as sanguine. It's Sanguinity when Wendell James McCormick devotes his life to an optimistic way of thinking. His pursuit of self-defined positive premonitions seems illogical, when indeed it's natural. They can't help him or fix him, for it's physically who he is; it's in his blood. McCormick believes himself to be a scientist, more specifically "the pioneer of Sanguinity." His research leads him to a very "logical" formula (G + (O - (R+F))) + (XX (+ or-) y) > Go; all his well-thought out variables are defined and documented within. It is the X, the powerful X factor, that allows him to naturally fall victim to his romantic conundrum. All the disciples of Sanguinity (and there are too few to count) are in agreement, if you follow the formula and believe in the rule, you can't help but be optimistic now and forever.
