Via Chinese Medicine

a: Gallbladder ~
b: the lens of the eyes

What: "Metaphorically, the gallbladder imparts the power of decision, the liver the power of action. The purity of the bile assures pure and proper judgment, clarity of vision, thought and decision making.Hence the Gallbladder is like the lens of the eyes through which we perceive our existent and anticipated , and inner and outer reality."

Ha Ha Ha!

a: Gallbladder ~
b: appendix or ex-Wife

What: "Your Gallbladder is like your appendix and your ex-Wife. Nice to have when they're working good, but when they start giving you trouble, get rid of them. You don't need the aggravation!!"

The Organs Run Stuff......

a: Gallbladder ~
b: the second-in-command

What: "On the mental/emotional level, the Liver must make plans and execute them. The Gallbladder is like the second-in-command, and has the role of decision-maker. So people who just can't make up their mind or, conversely, rush headlong into inappropriate decisions, are often displaying imbalances in these energies. Both organs have direct connections to the eyes - you need to be able to see things clearly to make good plans and take sound decisions. "

It Mixes Well....

a: No gallbladder ~
b: washing greasy dishes without soap

What: "Well, nothing could be further from the truth. The gallbladder stores bile and without bile, it is very difficult for your body to properly emulsify fats to absorb them. Trying to get fat into your body without a gallbladder is like trying to wash greasy dishes without soap. You can do it, but not very well."
