Burst of Emotion

Emotion may be one of the greatest flaws of human nature.

Such strong human instinct causes us to do some of the most drastic and ridiculous things. Emotion clouds the concept of judgement, acting purely on what seems like impulse. Heart over mind. It seems that as emotion increases, our decisions become less and less sound. Emotion enables vulnerability, in which exposed can lead to some of the most catastrophic consequences. Often, this is why we seldom choose to expose our own vulnerabilities and emotions, because we fear these consequences of hurt, anguish, despair, and hopelessness. Emotion sensationalizes the interactions we hold, but occasionally these sensations are not positive.

Negativity is our primary nature.

Something I've surely felt lately. The consequences of falling into such strong emotion, the temptation of the beautiful and extravagant flower that possesses the toxins of a slow and merciless death. The price that comes with everlasting happiness; something to revoke that happiness. For me, this is worry. Helplessness. The fear that this feeling may not last forever. And of course, the enemy that makes this pain so unbearable is myself. I am the only one who creates these scenarios that trigger fear and worry, my own thought enhances these emotions, further dragging me into the downward spiral. This only leaves me with one human trait to blame: emotion. It is emotion that has consequently brought me the sleepless nights of heartache, the absence of any feeling, the bitter cold tears that stream down my warm face in utter defeat. What exactly is such emotion good for?

Nothing.
