feelings

Feelings. They are what makes us human, unique. It because of them, we, Mankind, are both blessed and cursed. Blessed, because Feelings are what sets us apart from mere beasts that roam the Earth, and plants that creep underfoot. Cursed, because at times, your heart feels as if it would be torn into millions of pieces, never to be patched again. And what's the point of having a patched heart? It can never be whole once again.
Falling in love is the best and worst thing ever to befall a person. You feel more alive each day, and greet each day with much enthusiasm, and joy. You feel as if, the whole world is at peace, and stories of wars and human suffering are happening on a totally different planet. Yet. When you don't see eye to eye, every word cuts through your heart, like the Spear of Destiny that pierced Jesus's side, so it does to your heart and soul. You feel a tightening of the chest, and a rasping breath escapes your mouth. You feel worse than ever. Your heart plummets to the center of the world, to depths still unexplored. The world may be singing for joy, the Gods may have paid a visit to Earth, and yet, you feel as if, the bleakest day of your life is unfolding in front of you.
Feelings determine who you are, and what is your destiny. A wise leader who controls his emotions well, may reign for ages, while a leader with too great deal of heart, may find himself/herself taken advantage of, and the throne wrestled from his/her grasp.
Feelings are the cause of every upheaval, every revolution, every victory. People revolt because they feel strongly against a tyrant. Upheavals happen because of oppression. And victory? People go to war, wanting to be victorious, just so that they can go home, and proudly announce, I'm the better one!
Feelings. At the end of the day, Feelings are the root of all things. It's how you handle and control these feelings and emotions that lead you to savour all that life has to offer.
