those "chemical balances" are the most important thing you could ever want in this entire "superficial" life. You think just because you can classify something it becomes insignificant? Have you taken a look at the sky? Can you understand it's overwhelming omnipotence? Can you possibly comprehend how much sky we have?
No, but you can find out howe much space it takes up, and what its made of, cuz you know that.
But you dont know, is what Im saying. Its the same thing with thoughts, with emotions, with me. You know you, and that is why you is important, because your knowledge of you is changing.
I never ever said emotions we insignificant. I said knowing that they are a bunch of chemicals makes it seem very superficial.
I feel I know me quite well. I understand my own emotions, and now I understand what they are. I understand how much influence my emotions can have on me. That doesn't mean anything regarding how superficial emotions are. All they are, are chemicals. They do things, (hooray Captain Obvious) but that doesn't change that they are only chemicals.
of course it does! it changes everything! its not JUST CHEMICALS as you seem to put it, even though it is. You can define it into what you know as a chemical, but its the effect that is the consquence, and the ability to understand that is far less superficial than you seem to believe.
Its not like it becomes any differnt because you can classify it.
But they are just chemicals. They have reactions, they makes us feel things until the chemical ceases to run through us. The chemical stops being released, emotion over.
We all know what emotions allow us to do, what emotions are and how they feel. But they are only chemicals. Chocolate is awesome. All it is is ground up cocoa bean and milk and stuff.
but thats a dumb way to think baout it, to say "but all it is is..." about anything, because yes, those are the physical forces behind it, but so what? That doesnt mean you can get anything out of knowing that. You dont suddenly unlock some sort of universal secret in knowing that chocolate is cocoa and milk, same with knowing that emotions are chemicals.
Youre thinking of it much too linearly. Emotions are emotions, chemical inclusion or not. Its got everything to do with the fact that they are chemicals, but that has no significance to anything at all still. It means you can induce other chemicals to create other emotions, but the fact that they change how you feel in the first place is the important part, and that is why they are not superficial.
It does change everything for me. It makes everything less romanticized and much more scientific. Knowing that it is something objectified means it can be manipulated, and that is very interesting. I already konw the results of the chemicals. We know it from the first time we feel it (ish).

And that is why we're all in it for ourselves
