Emotions

We are empathetic beings. It's supposedly what separates us from the animals (or so some believe). Joy, Sorrow, Fear, Anger.... I'm sure we've all experienced them at some point in time. To be happy for having gotten something as a present, to feel sad that you were left alone at home while everyone else went on holiday, to be scared of the dark and of all that lurk in the blackness, and to be supremely pissed at your friend for being late for lunch XD

Yes, we have emotions and people have their own degree of showing these emotions as well as having more emphasis on one than the others. Happy go luckies are generally.... well.... happy and content with life moving on without much worry, Goths i guess can be related to Sadness and grief which is often related to death and loss... there are others who display certain emotions most of the time other than the two mention.

I've had my share of grief and loss and have felt the pain, the suffering and the sorrow that comes with it. In these moments i think to myself. These emotions are far too much to handle and I think about what it would be like not to have a certain emotion or not have emotions at all. Think of it? If you never knew what happiness was, how could you feel sad? The pain would never come and you would never need to suffer.

No happiness.... just nothingness.... can you imagine? But there's a quote for this issue and i quote "it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all". I guess i get the meaning. I wouldn't give anything to know what it is to be happy and have those wonderful memories to keep for the times that are simply saddening. I think life would be utterly boring without emotion really as we'd all be.... THE SAME. Monotonous creatures with lifeless characters. Emotion is what makes us who we are regardless of race, religion and our culture. It's what makes us interesting, unique, attractive even.

Life's a big empty wall, and i plan on putting graffiti all over with emotions ;) Fill in yours too!
