emotional human?


Pure emotions have always eluded me.
Always have they skirted cross my mind almost within my reach.
Never have they revealed themselves fully to me.
Always shrouded in doubt.
Always enacted, amplified with disdain to its meaning.
Always underplayed with the intention to reveal honesty.
Always shown to evoke a reaction.
 Only once have i seen true emotion.
That which death brings with it.
Not for the benefit of anyone.
Not for the sake of showing the world.
The strongest force on this earth.
Pure emotion.

Emotions have always eluded humans.
Humans with their enhanced capacity to think.
Our capacity to imagine.
Our capacity to understand the effect of emotions.
The fact that we know what effect an emotion can have undermines that we are capable of pure, real, unadulterated emotion.
We can never show emotion without thinking of what effect it would have on the other.
Emotion shown by people is a very filtered much accepted version of their emotion.
We are bound by the civic rules of the society.
We are bound by the laws of the society.
We are bound by our own sensibilities and morals.

We are bound, therefore, by our very own humanness.
