study of emotion 2/20/2008

can there be a factitious emotion
can a feeling be faked?
a reaction or physical act
sure
but a true emotion can not.
if you feel something it is real
the only thing you can ever count on
ever be sure of
is that if you feel something
it is real

it can be confusing, or disorienting
it can go against what you believe
or think
but it is born with no schedule
or bent
or preconcieved notions
it exists only to be born
and to die
and in between
achieve nothing
serve no one
