Well emotion is a wonderful gift from God, but it can also be quite annoying.
It's what sets us apart from animals. In a deeper sense at least. I believe animals have emotions but not to the extent of humans. But you definitely can't live your life using only logic. You'd be like a robot. But when your philosophyzing I think you have to exclude emotions to the point where, they're still there and your aware of them, but don't base your ideas upon them. You know? There are certain emotions that you should emphasize and others that are only deleterious to your character and well being. You can't just catagorize them all into one glutinous blob. lol i love saying that. ONE GLUTINOUS BLOB!!! ok ok i'm good. :-P Of course you must experience before you know which are which.
What do you mean by Werther's insights into suicide? I can't see how suicide could ever be beautiful. I can see all the emotion involved during certain mindsets and how that might be beautiful, but otherwise I can't see it.
Oh and then there's people like my mom who use almost no logic and rely on emotions. Thats a horrible way to go. I just spent like an hour on the phone with her trying to show her why its the wrong way to handle things. I dunno maybe some other day when I'm more organized...
Aunt g and aunt erin just got back from their week long vacation in Ireland!! :-) yay!!
I talked to Katherine today. It felt really good. Yea Katherine is my sister. I don't talk about her much cuz she'd usually just annoy me, but today i decided to change that. She's 9 and going into 5th grade soon so she really needs some guidance, especially spiritually and I think I'm really the only one in her life right now that can provide that. The only one who knows what shes going and can separate logic from emotion enough to help her out. We had a really good talk and she seems to really look up to me and take my advice well. I think we'll be good friends some day, and thats something I NEVER forsaw myself saying. I feel refreshed having conquered that area of my life..:-)
lol I could have sworn it was phantom of the opera. your quotes are always from that.
I'm in such a loving mood lately...To all my friends: I love you guys!!!! and anyone else who needs love: I love you too!!
