open up the heart

the most painful thign to the human flesh is beign opened. Consider this - whenever we are cut or lacerated, it hurts. Blood comews out. It scares us . That blood is our life force. that blood circulates throuhg us, gives u what we need to operate, to survive. That blood is our energy. So let us look at our feelings as blood. What was one

this is interesting stuff. from birth humans are aware of physical hurt, and eventually they learn to fear it(i.e. a baby will touch a stove burner because it doesn't know that it will hurt, but an adult has learned that burners are HOT and hurt and s/he will not touch the burner) emotional pain is not something that we all know early on(or even from the same time)and definitely not in the same degrees. much of european and asian literature(sorry i can't compare to other cultures :0( )that i have read parallel emotional and physical pain(an arrow through my heart, ect.) we begin to build the same safeties into our daily lives to prevent emotional pain(teen movie example: a boy not asking the hot girl to prom because she will turn him down). in instances of both emotional and physical pain we have built these walls around us to protect us. it's a very useful aspect of human nature. but sometimes those safeguards(now i sound like a virus protection system)cause us more pain than they prevent(i.e.1)hot girl actually thinks he's an okay guy and goes to prom with him 2)hot girl turns him down, he is crushed, but friends make him go to prom and he has an okay time, ect.) not talking to family or friends about issues that are important to you, or putting things off because you have freaked yourself out about it too much(i.e. not applying to harvard because you would be crushed if you didn't get in). But in most of the instances where you would be afraid to do something like this, generally it's best to take a look at the situation, format a plan of action and dive in(unless you were a girl with extremely conservative catholic parents who had to tell them that she was pregnant because she had sex with a guy because she thought she could be gay and it turned out that she was oh and like on acid at the time and in jail waiting for someone to bail her out, then perhaps a second or third look) so basically this started out as me looking at your hastily typed theory of emotion and then ending up telling you to just make you freaking move on the 'ice princess' already. jesus. sorry for like the millions of words long thing especially because you don't know who i am and i was just sort of lj surfing because i didn't want to study for my spanish test. good day!
