Most emotional people have a phase in life where they end up waging a war against their emotional self. Though a part of everybody wants the emotional self to win; defying the whole purpose of driving the emotional senses out of subconscious self, the other part wins eventually. If any emotional person has not traveled this road, he/she is one of the few lucky inhabitants of mother earth.
When I think what it takes to fight in that war and how the war starts, I delve into an extremely gray area of life that I am still trying to understand. There is a huge difference in approaching something (this something can be substituted to any personal/private situation in life that deserved a war between senses of emotion and practicality) emotionally and practically. When the count down for the decision time starts, both the senses start their sprint towards the end zone and there starts the war. The war eats up your sleep, food and flesh for a few days/months/years. (May be it is better either to crush the other or get crushed soon).
The practical self just manages to win mostly (hopefully); the decision is made to crush all the emotions and walk in the new direction that got discovered as resultant of that insane war. Travel starts in the new direction of life leaving behind all the sweet or sour emotional sensations and memories. Then the claim bragging, “Emotional memories have been overcome successfully” comes into picture. But is that claim really true? Were those emotions overcome completely? Can it be drowned to doom in a miniscule factor of time?
Once in a while as the sweet breeze passes by leaving a sensation for a few minutes those sweet/sour memories pass by kindling thoughts about past days at least for a few hours in the next few rotations of earth. While absent mindedness and bad memory is making people visit physicians for cure, how are these emotional memories so deeply etched in life for everybody?
Left behind are few tears, few smiles, few confusions, few depressed days, few skipped meals and few sleepless nights. This is what emotion brings to life eventually. Though it is acclaimed that emotions travel beyond words can explain it looks like the destination of the road emotion travels seems to be a combination of subconscious serenity, dollops of despair, tank of tears, and a single smile. So, should we even ride the horse of emotions?
