My psych teacher is really cool, but she always has us doing some sort of odd exercise like laughing in the middle of no where or memorizing pointless number sequences. But last class she asked for us to discuss this question,"If you were to keep either your intellect or your emotions which would it be"?Of course by intellect we don't mean your automatically a genius, its just simply what you know now. I personally decide emotions, without a doubt. My reasoning is, is (err so i think) if there were no emotions in this world everything would seem robotic. There would be no feelings in anything, no religon, music, love, happiness,pain. I understand if there was no pain you wouldnt know happiness and vice versa, but if there is neither. What are we?Just bottomless beings without a soul? Could you imagine? There would be no opinions or different ideas.. No discovering or understanding. Connecting with anyone would be nearly impossible. No one could learn or feel, teach or guide, listen or ponder. Individuality would barely exist.Procreation would be incredibly bland.(If not, lack thereof)Intellect and emotions are so deeply intertwined its hard to look at it as just one or the other. I mean i'm positive i could live without certain bullshit emotions and feelings i have at times, but living without love or happiness,without experience, and lessons would be a life not lived. I know i will never be in a situation that has to make me choose intellect or emotion but i find it sorta interesting to think about, i guess i just wasn't aware of how emotions play such a big role in existence, it's weird. Anyway. I'm going to a wedding this weekend with Kalan to Virginia Beach, he's one of the groomsman awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Nah, but hopefully mother nature doesn't decide to take her toll during it, outdoorsy is risky. It's almost our 6 months too! So bizarre. I would love to say more, except this melatonin is starting to kick in d;lf
ps: On the run just started serving my favourite pumpkin spice coffee! Ahhh October
