Emotions

ABOUT ME:

"Everything great that has ever happened to humanity has begun as nothing more than just a single thought in someone's mind. And if someone is capable of that thought, then we're all capable of being conceived by thoughts because we're all humans, we're the same." - Yanni

To write is to speak, thats the only way I know to express myself so I decided to start a blogging on things that I feel & what better topic to start than the one stating the fragility of humanity. Some of my "well-wishers" were plaguing me to write something periodically, having seen the initial effects of writing so I now hereby begin my journey of words & letter with an incredible support of my friends.

EMOTIONS & FEELING

It is said that an 'emotion' is what separates us from being animals. Emotions are like full stops, if there's just one the story ends, if there are few more then the story continues like this...If a picture is worth a thousand words then there's no parameter for emotions because there's no scale or a limit to emotions. The great thing about an 'emotion' is that it isn't tanned within the tenable limit of 26 words, a person needs to 'feel' another person's feelings; be it anger, hubris or love. A snake has no ears but yet it dances on the tunes of the snake-charmer..why? The answer is simple..it can feel the movement of the charmer's instrument.

But elders say that feeling & emotions are two different things..!! Well, I beg to differ in certain situations. I believe that a person incapable of feeling is also paraplegic towards emotions. A mother, no matter a whore, cannot see its child in pain or any other discomfort. This example is widely used, but what does it mean? Its true meaning cannot be measured using words, that's when we send our brain on a vacation & its time for heart to take control of things. But not all feelings need this exercise. We need to take certain decisions in life which requires our brain to open its wings & shed the heart because the heart can't take the outcome. There is no interlocutor between our heart & the head, they work independently. Those are the decisions that define our stature, our morals & - our character. After all true character is what we're under pressure not what we want to be..!!

Emotions are understood by heart,; interpreted by brain. First lets talk about 'understanding' the emotions. A person, no matter how strong, kneels down when it comes to the matter of the heart. It is proven that youngsters 'claim' to understand the emotions much better than mature adults. So why do we call them 'mature'? What is maturity? Well maturity is actually the experience that a person carries throughout his entire life which only helps him to learn from them & prepare for the future. It is true indeed that adults can correspond to emotions much appropriately than youngsters. When a person is young, he tends to feel like the world is a fool & that God's grace has shone just on him that only he knows everything. That's where they make mistakes, only to learn from them in the end. When it comes to understanding the emotions, one must feel the way the emotion is being conveyed to him. For example:[1] A guy hits another guy with a file over some work issue - it conveys great agony, despair & the emotion of Anger. [2] A guy pats on with an open arm on the shoulders of another guy - it conveys that the guy has immense trust & confidence on the latter. So even in a span of a day, a person comes across uncountable encounters demonstrating feeling conveying emotions. Like no two people think alike, even brain & heart do not think alike. Someone's paradise is another's hell. But often in terms of feelings & emotions, brain lives in hell whilst heart dwells in paradise. The actions are the only ways of conveying feeling. Example:[1] Getting a hug from someone - conveying feeling of love. [2] Slapping someone - conveying feeling of vengeance or mere anger. [3] Confessing to something - conveying feeling of remorse, guilt, honesty. We often try to elope from drama but feelings & emotions are always dramatical.

The next step is interpreting the actions thereby emphasizing emotions. Often our mind interprets what we want to see rather than what it actually is. For instance:[1] Two people having a healthy & joyous conversation - it conveys either of its two meanings: Either the two are very friendly or there is something more than friendship. In reality it maybe that the two are just good friends & are having a joyful time, but as I said no possibility can be rejected. [2] An elderly person is helped by a younger one - it means that either the younger chap is really helpful, or the elder asked to help him or it can also turn out that they were sheerly related. So interpreting the correct message is very difficult task, especially for the youth. People would always choose to interpret as they want resulting in creating a delusion in which there future lurks. Most problems in interpretation arise when a person is infatuated, or is in love. I'm not going to discuss love over here as it'll divulge the whole topic.

Teens tend to take things lightly, youth take things accordingly but adults take things appropriately. But for those who feel for everyone, are tagged as emotional fools in todays e-world. Emotions & feelings are dramatical, as they were. There is a lot of hugging, slapping, pampering & sometimes even silence while the person is demonstrating his/her emotions. But due to the society, they're gender biased. If a girl is crying, people sympathize with them however same is not the case with guys. It is scientifically proven that guys are more emotional, only they don't like expressing them. An infant is often scared of things it doesn't know but yet it tries to overcome its fear. 'It is never too old to be afraid' - said a wise man. But people, especially guys, are afraid of the world's interpretation of their actions hence they select to withdraw themselves into the shell. But, of course, there are exceptions everywhere.

Ultimately I would like to conclude my first post by saying that we should not let either our brain or heart take control of our entire stature. In the recent times, there have been many instances representing the destructive powers of sheer logic. A pure logic can never be a tool to measure the adversity of this beautiful world, it takes both our mind & heart to live 'happily ever after'..!!
