Are we all equipped with a limited amount of emotion so if we use it wantonly promiscuously lavishly we might run out before we die?

Should we budget emotion and only spend so much on things...only what we can afford to spend?

Do those who go through life reserved reticent stoic husband emotion better than those who let it all come out hang out however they wish?

Maybe we only have a limited amount of everything and when we use it up too fast we end up in a rocking chair waiting to die. SIGH.

    Oh, that it were true!  If so, I would have used up my allotment years ago; sparing me much pain and suffering (I'm a highly sensitive person).

    As people age, many of them become callous to things.  Policemen become callous to the suffering they see day after day.  They have to, otherwise they couldn't do their job.  Social workers become callous to the sob stories they hear day after day, otherwise they'd break down.  This may make them appear as if they have no emotions, when actually they've just suppressed them or built a wall around them.

    Here's why I asked. Yesterday I learned something that ought to have crushed me and reduced me to tears and I felt nothing. Now perhaps it's shock and eventually I will feel something but right now I'm just continuing to process it from a distance. It's the weirdest thing. Is that evidence of being callous? To my own suffering or potential suffering? That would be peculiar. There are some jobs I could NEVER do in a million years. One of them would be social worker. SIGH. I hope I can figure this out. At my age a brand new experience is unusual.Thank you for your reply Shuhak. Maybe as you age you will become a spectator to your own experiences rather than the subject. You have to be there to get what I mean. But you will remember this and maybe if you do have that experience a light will go on and you'll say "that's what Rosie meant". :) I'm going to ask.
