Emotions



One must be fascinated with ideological principles and thoughts in order to appreciate what I am about to say. Love is by far the most complicated of emotions and it transfers all along a myriad of areas. What I mean by this is its reach is from inanimate objects to people to romances to animals, etc. It is not a simplified concept affecting a minor part in one’s life. It is the one emotion that can make you feel like you are crazy and have lost your mind. It can bring you to places never experienced before but most of all……it is the one emotion that is most powerful and can and will overcome anything.

For example, I watch my teenage daughter go through every aspect of love in a single day. They have (at their ages) stages in their love life of everything from crushes to boyfriends to more drama than any network needs to generate multiple seasons in a show. Alas, the emotion is ever present. When a young girl has a crush on a young man and the male does not respond accordingly…the world will end. They will never graduate, their life will suck and so forth. But, if the opposite reaction is true they plan on saving the world one cause at a time. It’s amazing what a simple emotion can create. There is more heartbreak in middle school and high school than most adult have in a year. Cheating, drama, who is a slut and who isn’t. I mean last time I checked the purpose of school was to learn and socialize around peers so that when they do turn 18, they are free to roam about in a productive, upstanding way. Boy, was I wrong!!


Nonetheless, I look and listen to her daily dose of drama and look at my own relationship and fears and they seem so small, simple…trivial even. I am an adult and should be better at this sort of thing and yet my daughter at times pulls some tough love on me. I strongly believe that emotions can have profound effects on us as individuals even in their most simplest ways from birth to death they affect us directly and those around us.

Torment

It is almost impossible to judge ones true heart and reaction. I found that out tonight as I sit staring out into the cold rain. I thought for sure that after the “Love” story, which is my own that I could get over it. I mean how difficult is it to come to terms with a loss one never saw coming? My mind swears it should be a pang and then one walks away. You continue on with life, while somewhere in the subconscious crevices of the brain you continue the process of working through it. Eventually with time it gets easier and better to deal with. Theoretically, that sounds like a very good and very sound plan. But then you realize that you are thinking with your mind and not your heart. The wretched organ squirms and fights every step of the way and every minute. It seems as though no matter what your brain comes up with, your heart completely and utterly disagrees. This inner battle of heart and mind is enough to tear anyone to shreds. I can’t help but fight the urge to run away. Cod...

Hypocrisy

Anger seethes through my veins. While I do not pretend to be the perfect Christian, follow all dogma and live a perfect life I am enraged that some who call themselves just that practice the complete opposite. That phrase holds very little meaning in today’s Christian communities. I have seen more negativity, back turning and stabbing in today’s proverbial Christians than I do in those around me that profess to be Agnostic. It is truly sad that we can’t as humans get together for one another when in need, but then to have the audacity to label yourself a follower and true believer in Christ makes my blood boil. As I sit her writing, I almost don’t know where to start. Listening to the radio while running errands I was tuned into a talk show. The kind that you call in and get advice. Today’s topic was Christianity and our believe system in that. I was floored at some of these calls. One in particular stood out. A woman had called in stated that she was married with 2 children and a...

Silence

The girl sat on the edge of the couch intently looking at me. I wasn’t sure exactly what to think or say at this point. She completely threw me into my longest lived nightmare within a 10 minute conversation. She was asking for help and advice and all I could do was sit in silence and fear. Fear for knowing exactly how she felt and fear for her as I have seen many people in her very situation and unfortunately the cons far outweigh the pros. Outcomes are typically sad and filled with sorrow whether in direct correlation to the person or the indirect affects in the person’s close circle of friends and family.   My first reaction was to scream at her a simple “get out, run and do it now”. But I couldn’t. I could not bring my own fears into my perspective. It would not be very fair to her. She was genuinely asking my advice as a role model and mentor to her. All I could come up with was silence. How does one proverbially break out the kid gloves of compassion and understanding...
