[The writing is very quick, fluid, and almost abrupt in starting, following a singular train of thought.]In retrospect, sharing another person's body and mind can be more enlightening than I may have wanted it to be-- the man was obviously a sociopath, and that's a state of mind that I don't want to feel again. But that begs the question: is being ( Read more... )

I don't think that letting your emotions sway your every action is a good thing but emotions are important. They let us show that we care, or that we love or we're worried.

[Pentaps.] You got caught on the fourth floor too Virgo?

I'm glad that the whoopie cushions are gone at least. Who know's what's gonna happen next?

I'm inclined to agree. Numbed emotions are too... distancing for me.

I did, though it was significantly different from last time. And I'm a little glad the tree has a sense of humor, even if it's crude at best.

It's lonely too, keeping everything inside.

I swear it took practically everybody I know. The tree wanted to be five for a few days.

And sort of dangerous.

Possessive place, isn't it? Were you stuck too?

Yeah. Illuminative.

Is that you, Rain?

Is everything all right?

I have to agree, I prefer being in my own body. As for someone who's too emotional versus someone without any emotions... I don't think one is really better than the other.

I suppose there are dangers in both paths.

[Responses take some time and are awkwardly drawn in ink, looking like no discernible handwriting, but with small, light traces of inky, webbed footprints.]

That's a question I occasionally ask myself. It depends on what's needed at the time, I assume. Being sympathetic is seen as a good trait, though there are times when people wish to cut off emotion and feeling all together.

gundamphile April 6 2009, 21:34:38 UTC

If we could so conveniently cut off our emotions when they turn painful... sounds easier said than done.

[A significant pause.]

Who is this?

[Same response style. He hates being a fucking frog. Goddamn wilderness.]

Raise. My apologies.

It has been my experiences that those with a void of emotional responses generally are as such for a reason... though many times are unsure as to what that reason is.

And... I don't believe shutting down emotions is of benefit to anyone.
