What is it about the emotions that can dictate the very course of our lives? What is it about a smile or a laugh that touches us so very deep inside without even a moment's thought?
Emotions are a very volatile subject in many, many ways. They cause us to sing in the rain; dance on a roof; cry in our sleep; and any number of strange reactions to the world around us. They can have us singing someone's praises one moment and cursing their very name the next.
As a human being, our lives are dictated by our emotions. If you wake up happy and ready to go in the morning, even if the day is derailed for a moment, you are still ready to face the world. Yet, if you wake up "on the wrong side of the bed," everything seems to go down hill from there.
We attach emotional significance to everything around us. Every sight, smell, taste, and touch brings back some memory of where we were and what we were doing when we first experienced that - and the emotions that surrounded us at that very moment in time. Every sound that surrounds us brings to mind a time where we were elated or crushed - and the sound will affect us the very same way.
So what is it about our emotions that make them so very powerful? What makes us so ruled by those very emotions many try to keep in check?
