Curiosity

While I was in the reopened and newly furbished Wendy's branch in Cubao, Araneta, I asked a few magnificent friends of mine via SMS this question:

"Curiosity strike me again... Ano sa tingin mo yung isang human emotion na useless or sana hindi na nag exist?"

And interestingly, they responded with gusto! I'd like to share it all their answers.

"Love" - by Calculus

"Pity is useless: Helping someone is better use of energy (though at times people are just being defensive when they say that). Despair drives one to desperation, so that can be dangerous as well." -Pat

"Pride. It destroys everything." - Vayie


Out of five people, only three answered. THANK YOU!!!

As for my answer, I think Love would be the one. It's one of the many human emotions that I regard as simple yet mysterious to comprehend. Love leads to anger, fear, hatred, sadness, death, disappointments if left to lead into a very immature one. But this explanation of mine is notonly limited to comprehension or to what I know. Di ko alam kung paano ko pa ipapaliwanag yung sagot ko e.

However, another set of questions sprang while I thought about it: Can we exist without Love? And does love exist before we actually felt it? Does the lowly caveman thousands of years ago, thought about love as by way of surviving? or by way of providing love for oneself in order to exist?

As for other emotions like hatred, pity, pride, etc., are these rooted to love as well?



Quite.
