Sweet Emotions

Aerosmith had the right idea.  It is our emotions which shape our personalities, mold and model them, give them spice (or not).  It is our emotions which lead us to fall in love or recall with fondness or anger certain moments in our lives.  Anger, love, joy, sadness – emotion.  Without them we would be similar to my little Roomba vacuum cleaner and would just perform the same menial tasks every day just to ensure our existence.  Sometimes we say things when we’re emotional – perhaps some things we regret, other things may not make all that much sense when we really sit down and think logically about about it.  I think the type of emotion we’re feeling when we say things under the influence of emotion are important.  For example, under the influence of a negative emotion we may tell someone off or be mean to them or even tell them things we know will hurt them – perhaps because we felt that they’ve hurt us.  These are what I believe to be forced expressions.  On the other side of the coin, there are things we express or say under the influence of positive emotions – love, joy, happiness, serenity; perhaps we promise the world when influenced by our endorphins, or perhaps we say we want something or want to do another which aren’t practical (when thinking logically) at that point in time; I believe these to be natural expressions, things which are in our hearts and on our minds, things we really want/want to do, but are being held back or delayed when our logic switch is flipped on again.  I think it is these wants, these dreams, these desires we should hang on to and not discount them.  These are the things that will make us happier in life when coupled with our logical side and timed at the right moment/place/time.
