Emotions

Hmm.. Just, kinda bored right now... Ideas swirling in my head..So, let's write a blog post XD!


I just saw something that someone wrote about emotions. They wrote about how empty a person feels when they no longer have emotions. How empty life feels...


Well, it got me thinking.. What does it feel like to not have emotions? Wouldn't it be strange??


We're human. The greatest gift God gave us was our free will and our ability to express ourselves through our actions and emotions. So, what would it be like to lose it all? How would we feel?


I'm sure some might argue that without emotions we wouldn't care how, when or why we lost them in the first place, but just for the sake of argument, wouldn't life be awfully sad and well, emotionless?


Think about it, no joy, no happiness, no friendship, no love? Of course, we wouldn't have anger, hatred, jealousy, depression and many other negative feelings, but why would anyone choose that?? It's like sucking the colour out of your life... It's like taking away everything that makes life meaningful. Living like that, day to day, without any spark or flare or even dark cloud, who'd want that kind of life? You'd be better off dead..


Even animals and plants have emotions. Animals fight over mates, food and territory. They do the best they can to raise their young. Their emotions may be less complex and supplied by a more primal need, but they're similar to ours.. As for plants, they have one simple emotion, the desire to grow, to cover the earth and to overcome all obstacles in their path. Think about it: Most of those "Life after Humans" shows show that the Earth is once again covered in green. Moss, mould and dense forests all completely cover the Earth and even succeed in infiltrating the mass "concrete jungles" that the now extinct humanity once built.


So, if we don't have emotions, we're even worse off than plants. How depressing is that? Even if you are unable to feel emotion, the fact that you can feel that lack of emotion, feel the emptiness and have the desire to fill that void with something, that awareness IS an emotion. If one says that true, unselfish emotion doesn't exist, then I would counter that by saying that pure, absolute indifference doesn't either.


We ARE Human, we DO have emotion. Maybe.. we're just looking for it in the wrong places? Who knows? We must try our best to express our emotions and live our lives as best as we can.


Look at the background of this blog. What do you see? A whole lot of blue and white? Well, for those with horribly practical and unimaginative minds(and you have to be really dull not to see this), it's an abstract image of blue, transparent pipes and tubes. I like it a lot coz' I find blue and abstract things in general very comforting when it's presented in a subtle way like this. It's makes me feel both calm and excited, happy and melancholic, and when I look at it, I can't help but smile:)


What do you see when YOU look at it? Do you feel the way I do? Or do you feel "blue" XD? Or are you like some people(cough,cough, my dad,cough,cough) who really hate blue coz' it irritates them? Well, even that simple psychological reaction to an abstract design can be called an EMOTION:)


So think about the importance of emotions. Are they a gift or a burden? Are they worth keeping? Well, you decide. Personally, I wouldn't trade them for the world:) 


Well, I'm signing off now. Hope you guys found that interesting :D See ya' soon!
