There are plenty of studies conducted on whether animals show emotions. While humans have had differing views of animal emotion, the scientific examination of animal emotion has led to information beyond a recognition that animals have the capacity for pain, fear, and such responses as are needed for survival. Being termed as 'Animal Sentience', this probably is one of the most exciting study areas in Biology at the moment.
What separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to have self control and override our primal instincts for the better good. When we see the other side of the coin though, all this self control acts as a fair determent to the way we interact with the world, not limiting to the all the fake that it brings along.
I hate people who are not emotional. I am not saying you started crying me buckets or laugh hysterically to the point of tears when we meet next time, but a trickle of emotion cannot hurt. And what stems from this very trickle of emotion is compassion, which is what one craves in everything. People often try and deny that they are emotional, often try and avoid showing emotions in public, often keep emotions at an arm's length when it comes to decision making, and in doing all that they deny the public the richness of who they are, deny themselves the passion that emerges from such feeling, the passion to enjoy what they are doing, and also deny themselves the right way to life.
So why this sudden burst of emotions? Million little things really, but in the end it all boils down to the select some who thought that they were teasing me by calling me emotional and giving me a nickname (that name did bug me a little though), and the fact that I have time on my hands. Just before leaving, last 2 cents, Be Emotional, it is what makes us human and what is fun.

Babes, emotions r supposed to be reserved for select few, to some u need to be indifferent and this never cuts a pie from your being human quotient. Not all are same, not all wanna sing wat de r doing.. and dere z another school f thought also.
ReplyDelete"Respecting differences z human".
N really dat name bugged u :P
Agreed. But when you go out of the way to repress emotions, just to avoid showing people the real you, that is where I draw the line, and everyone should. Why would I want to change myself for anyone else, why would I try to repress my emotions. All may not be the same, but I believe, emotions are there, probably the same amount, showing them selectively is just a restraint that one put's over themselves and that just doesn't cut it.
DeleteThe context though, and you must understand, was an event, anything but personal. Banta hai.
P.S. That name did bug me, when did I deny :)
