There have been SEVERAL brain mapping studies that indicate that feelings/emotions precede thought. Meaning, before the whole 'chemical' shcit in your brain starts the coding, mapping, and labeling of 'what occurred,' and what all that means, it was first preceded by an emotion... that does NOT start in the brain.
Which kind of blows their minds.
How we CHOOSE to feel, label, remember, said emotion... will largely be based on PAST experience. If we have NO experience on which to base an emotion... it will send us into a virtual TAIL SPIN... for the mind is desperately seeking to make sense of something for which is has no reference.
If it feels remotely like pain... that's the first thing the brain will grab to label it with. It could be euphoria. But. It will look for the closest comparable thing. kwis?
So. We know how the brain works. Scientists are still completely befuddled by emotions. Cuz THAT is what is seemingly driving the bus.
Why people do/feel different things in a given situation is irrelevant... unless you are someone doing a study.
For you and I... what is important to consider is... what is. I think it is very important to read and learn about HOW to consider... 'what is'... so that you can THEN determine course of action.
Most people get caught up in 'why.' I know I did/have/do. Jesus Christ, 'why' was the third word I learned how to speak.
So. Given what I have just said to you... make an attempt to throw out your own answers, and let's go from there.
