Inspirational music
I'm posting some songs that I've come to love through AMVs. The videos themselves are not anything special, but I've listened to them often. These also happen to be songs that inspire me to write. Many entries start from a song.
Lately I've been thinking about how it affects me when I'm watching television, or to a lesser extend reading books or other fiction. I emote strongly with the feelings that I see on television. I don't just feel it. I can feel that my face shows the emotions and I have to really concentrate to not do it. Feelings like sorrow, joy, anger and so forth all reflect on my face when I witness it on other people in television. I hadn't before now realized how extensively it affects me and it's making me a bit self-conscious when I find myself grinning stupidly with someone that I see on television. But I can't really help it and I don't think that it's anything all that serious anyway.
Maybe my mirror cells are responcible. I don't know. I find the concept of mirror cells fascinating. To think that there could be neurons in our brains that fire when we do something and when we witness someone else do the same things, so that it's like we were doing it ourselves. When applied to empathy it makes a lot of sense to me.
