conflicting feelings...

Can human exist sans feelings? Fortunately or unfortunately, man is destined to live with the feelings of various natures. These feelings are commonly known to us as emotions. And emotions can hardly be controlled .It is this trait of human which distinguishes us from any other animal. We, human beings, often tend to flow with these intense feelings. When one overflows with the emotions, one forgets one’s existence in this mighty world and starts living in one’s created world. This is where most of the people make their lives miserable.

Controlling one’s feelings towards anything or anyone is one such technique to smoothly run one’s life. Even if one knows this fact one is tempted to flow with them. Although our thinking faculty reminds us continuously about the consequences we might face yet we go with the desires created by these feelings. And there comes the conflict between one’s mind and heart. It is obvious that the brain wants to curb the emotions but the heart says the opposite. This conflict between them leaves a man in a confused state and makes him remember the phrase ‘reality bites’. As our thinking lobe always reminds us the reality and keeps conferring us to leave the platonic world but who will tell to this lonely heart?! It’s really hard for it to digest the reality. Thus, the conflict goes on and on....

By the way, what if one exist sans emotions? Well, if this was the condition, then there would be no more conflict feelings and every single being would be leading a life with no ups and downs in it. One would be governed by only logical thoughts without emotions that come out straight from one’s mind. Practically, it means telling one’s heart to indulge in an abortion of all the emotions that it might give birth to. Ultimately, becoming a callous person with no feelings of any single being existing in this planet. However sans these intense feelings, there will be no twists and turns in one’s life which indeed is the real taste of life. Even if one abominates the conflict between the two, one has to learn to live with it and has to make a choice among those conflicting feelings. And there is always a choice in life though it might hit one really hard to accept it.
