Emotions: Boon or Bane..!!??




Emotions: Boon or Bane..!!??


Here I am sitting in the darkest corner of the room wondering about the chaos going around. I know it's a pretty little world out there but I am more concerned with the worlds that we all are carrying deep inside within us.

The world named EMOTIONS..!!

Maybe the corners of the heart are still more accessible than the corners of our brains.

We all believe that our heart lights up when we experience any of those five senses of ours. But the real question lies whether it's actually our heart that feels or rather it's just our brain..??
Are those just the chemical reactions going on in our brain or is it the emotions that makes us feel alive..??

If it wasn't for the emotions would we ever be able to feel the joy of an infant holding our fingers as hard as they can..??
If it wasn't for the emotions would we ever get excited seeing the rainbows or the colors of winged butterflies..??

Are emotions really emotions or are they just our bodily actions. ??

I don't know if one can sum up all the emotions in single statement or not. Or whether the feeling of one individual can be related to other individuals or not.

And I personally believe that all the emotions are nothing but the band width of different frequencies between fear and disgust just as like all the colors that are band width between red and violet..!!

Or wait, is this my belief triggered by the emotions that I might be experiencing right now or is it just my brain running up on logic..??

But are these feelings really helping us grow or are they just the curtains that we really need to achieve stability , comfort and definition in our lives.

Are we so afraid to open the curtain behind the curtain..??

Or we just sit idle and hope that the emotional pain here (heart) will overpower actual pain there (brain).

What if there were no emotions at all..??

If it could ever be the case there might not be any feelings of heartbreaks in teenagers, or the sad feeling for demise of that one person whom we loved from the core of our heart, or the feeling of separation that a little kid might experience while his parents board him far away to hostel, or getting rejected by the girl you just proposed or seeing the guy you crave with some other girl.

Emotions are childish and dangerous. We are taught to either ignore them control them or deny them. We barely know where they come from and what they are. Or how they seem to understand us better than we understand ourselves. Sometimes they are as little as the smell of first rain on earth and sometimes they are as huge as death of the closed one.

Also on contrary if emotions did not exist ever would we be able to feel the liveliness when we are with our families or close ones, would we be able to enjoy the feeling of that first kiss or that first rain dance of our life when we were too young to know what we are experiencing. Or the feeling of accomplishment when we achieve that our long big-time goal, or the feeling a mother feels when she holds her baby for the very first time..!!

I suppose when emotions brings us ghost from the past only logic can root us in the present.

I guess maybe just maybe emotions are boon for some and bane for others..

Or the bigger question who are those others and who are those some..??

Is it really up-to us to make a emotion either boon or bane or just it really baffles us all whether Emotions are actually boon or bane..!!??
