Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» I WISH our emotions could be controlled by an ON/OFF switch. I'd switch to OFF when I can't stand it (it being whatever) Would you too?
No, I wouldn't.. it seems an easier option but part of who and how we are rests on our ability to feel, to know compassion, for ourselves and for others... if we didn't care we'd all be emotionless megalomaniacs like Trump lol we really don't want to be like him now do we :P
Here's the why Addb. Every day I am utterly disgusted by and with the evil doofus don. Every day it's the same old thing. He does/says egregiously insulting evil things. I'm tired of despising the guy. I want to turn it off for awhile because this sameness of the pickle we're in gets worse every day. I also want to turn off the switch when the pain from the loss of our beloved cat Tigger pulls me down. July 25, 2017 was the day we had to put him down and every day we miss him terribly..some days are worse than others. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)
No, our emotions shouldn't be the basis for making decisions, but they're valuable. If we never feel the uncomfortable emotions, we may well avoid changes that need to be made.
Vis a vis donjohn JA. I want to turn off that switch just for awhile. I despise him. I don't know if you have ever in your life despised anyone. He is my first and only experience and it is exhausting. I'm too old to feel this deeply negative about someone 24/7. That's reason one. Reason two is that even though we put our beloved cat Tigger down July 25 the pain hasn't lessened from our loss. Jim and I miss him terribly every day and I'd like some respite from it. As for making decisions you can't make them based on emotion. You don't "decide" anything emotionally. All you do is react or overreact. My decisions are made by thinking things through. Evaluating, comparing, investigating. Nothing emotional there at all. SIGH. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)
