Feelings Part I

One of the most amazing and complex mechanism is of feelings and their connection to the thought process. Feelings that make us human. When you come out of the womb, the process is self-initiated. Therein, begins the life long journey of comprehending emotions and then re-enacting them in your life. People do understand the significance of such a thing and do all sorts of gimmicks to test your emotional quotient and what not.
Now what is most amazing about emotions is that they aren't very consciously developed. I am sure you didnt have to think to start loving your mom.
The best thing that has makes me think about this is the game called SIMS. If you haven't played this unusually addictive game, I'll summarize the gameplay for you. What you have to do is control people and their day to day activities and achieve some certain objectives to go higher up. Now I remember if i would talk to a person, he'd show a heart and his emotional attachment to that person increased or if he would stand in front of the mirror, his confidence could be increased so as to prepare for the job interview the next day.
You know it actually is that simple. Well we are trying to simplify it and not creating any paradox about it being complicated or simplistic in nature.

You can recall any incidence that has happened in your life just like that, and it can affect your mood to any extremes. It defies logic. You might not want it to change your mood but then it's not in your hands. You know objects are always in sort of an equilibrium-dynamic and static. Brain would definitely be a dynamic equilibrium. A pseudo equilibrium. It listen's to all parameters in the environment and processes. Processes and processes all the time. Even when your sleeping the events might as well be ordered or disordered into some sort of way. That might explain how you end up having dreams or nightmares. Atleast for me, anything that I have been thinking Too much about usually ends up in a dream too and mostly on the same night.
