The (in)significance of emotions today.....
Actually speaking,I feel the need and value of true emotions in the world of today is diminishing rapidly,even faster than the rate at which HIV infections spread their vile and ruthless tentacles,throughout the globe.......
The era where people respected and considered emotions worth giving a second thought to,seems long bygone.When i sit back and wonder,the thing that comes foremost to my perusal is that times have changed..... changed inside-out....changed to such a great extent that you cannot comprehend what they truly were,before they changed....and lastly changed inevitably and irreversibly.
People have somehow(by People,here i mean the majority of mankind) seemingly developed ingenious ways and means,to block out their emotions and feelings,managed to metamorphose into well-shaped vessels,devoid of any feeling......transform for good,into shockingly inhuman forms with just two strengths left,BRAIN-POWER & WILL-POWER.Truly enough,these two virtues are quintessential for man's survival.....his arsenal in the most desperate and most tumultuous of times in the lifetime......but,the argument finally comes down to this....Is this the only reason why we are here????Is this the sole purpose behind our creation,only to act as mere puppets to enact out the PROPHECY(read here as Darwin's theory for the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST).....whilst spelling out doom and downfall for the more subtle nuances,the finer feelings in life....
But,still exceptions and minorities are as much a part of these world as are seeds in an apple....no one wants them where they are...but they are there...people who cherish true emotions within themselves...oft labelled(wrongly that is)as individualists,philosophers,pseudo-philosophers,even sadists....but in layman's terms...emotional fools..
But it is because of people like these that the world still is a beautiful place to live in.I cant imagine what it would be like if we were to dwell in a world,a world full of heartless souls,fuelled only by the base desires of ambition,ruthlessness,and cold intellect........
But still...the truth is...the argument still hangs in the balance.....
