Not being emotionally involved has its drawbacks. I can attest to that.
Or lives are shaped by the nudges in the different directions. We are just moving to fast to notice any of it.
Rush and your in an accident,leave 2 minutes later and it doesn’t involve you and you might not even have notice the event.
Emotional involvement doesn't require emotional vomit. One can feel and consider their emotional position without losing control, without having to show it to anyone if they choose. The involvement is still there and is much more sensitive to conditions. Rage is uncontrolled, it is inconsiderate of other available information than what has fed it and its target.
Emotion are not good or bad . It is how we use them that matters. They can be a tool to enhance our lives or bring havoc.
The loss of a child has to be unbearable
Definitely tools, just like hands and legs.
A colleague of mine lost her 3 year old daughter a few years ago. As painful as it must be, it is bearable because she has another daughter that required her care and carried on. Emotions can be felt without them crippling or destroying us.
We are an incredible species. No matter how hard or the odds not being with us we tend to fight for life.
Even more sad for those who have no hope or someone to turn to.
