An emotional cost and benefit analysis!
Should we lead our lives inspired by the left or right side of our brain. Also known as the all-to familiar battle between ratio and emotion.
The spectrum of human emotions, can be as broad as the view point of Wat Khao Tam.
Collard from the brightest shiny gold of the sunn to the blackest depths of the darkest caves.
And although someone once told me: all emotions are beautiful even the ugly onces, they have the tendency to make life complicated by blurring logic and reason.
And as Ko Pha Ngan won't pervade me with a chance to challenge the complicated dryness of legal constructions,to numb my right hemisphere, overstimulation seem to causes overreaction and oversensitiveness. And no matter hard i try, my unlogical side seem to take over to cause drama and distress. And although a lobotomy seems a little drastic to get rid of my emotional self, to possibility to turn if off, some times seems very appealing.
I always deeply envied people who lived their lives based on the simple rule of logic and straightforwardness, instead of losing their balance on the crooked ledge of emotion. Somehow their lives appear to be more stressless, easy and elementary.
So is it better to approach life from a cost/ benefit viewing point and to ignore our interfering emotions. Or do we disavow our believes and feeling of justice if we do so?
Emotional reactions are born in the limbic system as one of the oldest most basic parts of the human brain.

So emotions can bring us back to our core being, our raw self. And it functions as warning system, that makes us aware of the worth of staying away from people, that evoke negative emotions in ourselves.
But is there still place for honest but unpolished responses,in a society complicated by subtleties and where truths turn into perceptions.
And it is wise to make mayor life decisions based on such basal human instinctive reactions.
Wise may indeed not be the right word to describe such behavior, but pure might be. Listening to your basic longings and desires can bring you beautiful experience, and most important, it can bring you wat you really want.
Because as the human mind is easily to corrupt by the influence of others, the human heart isn't. Nobody can ever force you to fall in love, or to like or dislike, how beneficial it would even be for you.
Sometimes do the thing we truly want not necessarily provides use with the certainly of long term success, as the heart does not take in into account.
The risky heart, no pain no gain. Or the ridged reason, no gamble no stumble.
So is its better to be safe then sorry?
Or is living on the safe site just a synonym for being dull as ditch water.
No high, no low but just mediocrity.And to me medium life sounds like a lack
of rememberable experiences.
As I can quote a beautiful quote on the wall of Magic Raggae bar: " when your life flashes before your eyes, make sure there's enough to watch"
And that must include good and bad, as they go hand in hand. So we might be more sorry to be safe, in the end...
And even if our heart ends up crushed to pieces by listening to it, I still believe there is no deep remorse in being true to yourself.
And if we make the wrong decisions with our heart we can at least take full responsibility for it. And wont even regret it, because we truly wanted it....
