Today's Lesson on Emotions

A question is asked, what are the two most primal emotions in this world? The question is answered simply, Rage and Passion. All other emotions in the world fall in between. Love is argued the strongest on that side but Love is the all encompassing Passion within our lives drawn together; Lust, Desire, Need, Devotion. Passion is everything, it is truly indescribable but only few who actually can claim to know it. Even fewer of those that have actually felt it in its purest of forms.

All people are at some level removed from our Primal emotions. The closer to our Primal emotions we are, the more raw and powerful they are. All people are on different levels. Some are so far removed that they rarely feel any emotions at all. Others are so close that they lose themselves and their humanity. I cannot say where is the best place, rather, what level is the best to be on. For being so far removed, one almost never gets hurt. Many with emotional scars from passed lovers or wrongs may believe themselves on this level but they are wrong, those are self imposed walls that can break down. I speak only of our natural selves, as we were born. Those that are so far removed rarely feel anything. Many may consider that sad but that is just how they are. For good or ill, they neither feel Hurt nor Love.

Some are very close to our animalistic Primal emotions. Immediately one would shy from wanting to be that close, for fear of losing themselves. If you are able to fear it, then fear not, for you are not that close. So is pity the word when one loses their sanity? I believe perhaps that those people whom are so close, would pity others not on that level. Why? Because, for as long as one holds themselves together, it is an incredible thought, that they could feel the rawest, closesness to those emotions. So close, in fact, that they would feel it in their purest forms. Imagine that while sanity held, they would feel Rage, but on the other side, they would feel Passion, Passion unrestrained, and freely flowing. Passion so intense, the light in their eyes would cause others to look away. The touch of the person to cause the one receiving to feel the heat of it, the burning fire warm their skin and flush their cheeks. You read about it in books, or try and imagine it while watching movies, but very few have felt that and I envy them greatly.

Each could hold themselves together for different periods of time, it would depend on the strength of the individual but it is almost always shorter than those several levels removed.

What about those in between far removed and absolute closeness. That is the majority of this world and all are at different levels. Obviously because the majority is there, the safest it is from either extreme. But it is also mediocrity, the norm, the usual, the nothing special. As said earlier, one cannot change at what level they are born with, though environmental situations can artificially provoke stronger or lesser emotions, i.e. being hurt by a loved one and building walls. Eventually our natural, born to levels reassert themselves.

Primal emotions are the core of who we are. Being removed from being completely animalistic by several levels makes us human at the cost of our emotions. Is feeling some emotion for longer lives better than the rawest, most powerful emotions for a shorter period of time? Is living longer with sanity intact worth the freedom of our emotions?
