I Feel

20Jun07

Sometimes, I wonder why God decided to curse us with such horrible
things such as emotions. These things cause turmoil in our lives.
Imagine, if we were being that didn’t feel, so many conflicts could be
avoided. Take World War I for instance. If Austria-Hungary didn’t
retaliate to Archduke Franz Ferdinand being murdered by The Black Hand,
so many lives would have been saved. Or take our current conflict with
our “War On Terrorism”. If we really look at it, 9/11 was something we
had coming. I mean, we deserve to have some humbling as a nation from
one time or the other. Relationships would be o-so-much easier too. You
just pick the one that appeals most to the eye to you. The one that
satisfies your physical needs the best. Like would be a simple, life-less
vacuum.

And it would be awesome.

But think about it. REALLY think about
our emotions. How satisfying is it when you feel the soft stroke of
your loved ones hand on yours and you feel that warm tingle inside? How
great does it feel to watch a movie and connect with the characters in
the movie so that you’re getting upset when the protagonist gets
backstabbed by his or her best friend? Emotions are what gives us
humans the power to continue from day to day. Emotions are the things
that make us feel proud of our son as he drives the game winning run
home. It is what makes us stay up late at night because we don’t know
what might happen the next day. It’s that righteous anger that we feel
when we hear a pastor say that we are sinners for dancing or listening
to Jack Johnson.The touch. The feel. The sound. The feelings.

Sure,
life would be easier without emotions, but it sure wouldn’t be so
satisfying. As for me, I pick the life with turmoil that will leave me
a blessed man in the end.
