Emotions - Facilitators & Hurdles

Emotions - one of the most strongest element of any creation in this world.
They are not only facilitators but also hurdles sometimes (Most of the times in few cases)
Emotion for loved ones, family , friends. Emotion for things , places and all materialistic things play their respective roles in almost every action that we take.

Things start changing when circumstances comes into picture. The basic fundamental gets disturb.We from childhood are taught that emotions are independent of circumstances.If you love someone,love her not because she always helps you, prep food for you, teach you ,make you pronounce your first word but because she is your mother.But as our mind starts its analytical phase and we start getting things on the basis of choices and circumstances start prevailing.

There can be n-number of examples where if a computer program is run with if-else analysis ( analysis where you have two choices and alternative is selected if the condition is true else next alternative is selected) and given same input as our mind gets, the results will be very different. This is because there is a variable in mind function and that is circumstance.

Strength of the same can be seen in change in perspectives of people when they are in a situation where they have to select options where more than on benifit is involved.
Normally the strength of the alternative is decided according to the benifit it gives to decision maker but when the variable circumstance is attached it changes.

Think of a boy who is fighting with his father to get married to a girl who is not accepted by boy's family.Or think of a person who is himself involved in relationship but doest not allow his sister to have choice in her relationship.These all are circumstantial decisions that one take.The mistake human being makes in these situations is he starts weighing the emotions.Which one is heavier or which one can be amended in second chance means less destructing to avoid.

Let us take another example. A solider - He has his whole family , wife children parents everyone back in his village but he is deputed on border.Now here the emotion of duty, pride , patriotism is heavier and stronger that other(that's why solders are great people) Now lets add and an variable circumstances - 1> Circum 1 : His mother is ill Circum 2 > His son is not well Circum 3 > His wife has some serious health issues etc etc .. Now these circumstance will test the strength of emotion. These circumstance can lead to change in output which was earlier fully guided by emotions.

Most horrifying is that emotions can lead to extreme actions.They can be the creators as well as destroyer of an individual. And if you are an Emotional FOOL(like me) then GOD bless you.(Maximum people are though)
