ASSESSING EMOTIONS

Emotions are so subjective. Sometimes, you are not able to understand or explain the very emotions you are feeling, and at times, it is so objective, that the world around you can understand what you are experiencing.
Is emotion a feeling or is it a physical quantity? Let's presume that emotions are a physical quantity. Can we predict and understand what we feel, when we will feel, how well we feel and why we feel? To a certain extent, maybe we can, but what about the magnitude of it? Can you assess how much you feel? Now let's say emotions are just feelings which is very unique to your soul, in such a way that it's predictability is so uncertain that you, who own your emotions, are not able to assess the outcome of it, to such an extent that more often than not, you are baffled by your own thoughts, emotions and your reactions to situations and how and why you reacted and felt the way you did in that situation.
Let's take a moment here to assess love, one of the most exaggerated emotions, which is so morphologically evident at times, and at the same time, so genotypically hidden that even you are not aware of it! Initially, when the spark has begun,  your emotions of love, is based on what the other person is making you feel. There's something about them that's making you see them differently from the rest. Now like every emotion,  this emotion too ascends to the next stage, wherein the emotion is still of love,  but you experience it in a different way that now love for you is you doing something for the other person, because you see something in them that you don't see in others. It makes you want to do things for them, that you would not do for others.
Now consider every single emotion to be like this,  to have such levels of ascent and descent with a breadth of magnitude ranging from minimal to destructive. When you finally try to coalesce all of it and try to reach an equation,  the equation is going to be something just like this blog piece... "ABSOLUTELY JUMBLED AND GOING IN NO DIRECTION"...
So what is it that you do?
What is it that you do?

The mind wanders when you think about it...

A DREADFUL BOND

There often comes a time in one's life where they have to choose what the world wants over what they want in the sense they have to choose a path which gives more happiness and peace to the world that to the individual himself. I often wondered why any individual irrespective of age or sex have to choose a path in which they know for sure is not the path they would choose for themselves, why is it that they choose another's happiness over theirs? Do we as individuals owe anything to this world by being born into it? The minute we are born, from that very second, our moral obligation to love our family begins. As we grow and mature, we make bonds of frienship, love, hatred and most importantly, we create a bond with ourselves which grows to be the fuel in our lives and nurtures us eveyday. Of all these bonds, a bond of love is always sudden in its onset, like how a mother knows for sure she will love nothing more than her child the minute she hears it's first cry, a father r...

CHOICE

I'm at my grandmother's place and as I sit on her bed, I'm taken back 3 years to when I sat in the exact same place without having to put the slightest thought into it. The feelings, the emotions came rushing back into me like the water escaping from an open dam. Life always gives us a choice and what we decide do with that often leads us to one of two paths, i.e., happiness or guilt. As I sit here, I contemplate every choice that I have ever made. I have seen a man look at his dead wife's photograph. I have seen a brother cry over his mother's loss, I have seen a man being told that he has not much time to live and that nothing can be done, I have seen a mother cry as she held her child for the first time. These are too many emotions a person feels in his day-to-day life. Materialistic choices are easy to make, as in to make a choice between jobs, education, clothes etc. But what about the emotional choices? How does one make all the right emotional choices making ...

Acceptance

How often have we heard the sentence, "you'll get over it", in various phases of our lives, may it be with respect to our family, love, or our situation and our circumstances. But what does one mean when they make that statement? Do they mean that we will finally reach a time and place where the thing we were fretting about or the thing that was disturbing us no longer affects our day to day activities in anyway? I think that it's not true at all. In my perspective, I feel there's never getting over anything, I think we just learn to live with it! I feel there's a huge difference between the two. If I said that I was over something, it would mean that I am not at all affected by it, and that it does not alter or affect my thought formulation and perspective, which I think is never possible. Every single element of life leaves an impact on us, may it be good, bad, or ugly. That people change in various ways as they walk their paths of life is a living proof tha...
