I mean, when my dad's not asking the maid for a neck-rub, he's telling me if I'm going to get emotional, I should do it in a closet because no one likes to see a hysterical woman.
There's no such thing as bad. Good and bad are fairytales. We have evolved to attach an emotinal significance to what is nothing more than a survival strategy of the pack animal. We are conditioned to invest divinity in utility. Good isn't really good, evil isn't really wrong, bottoms aren't really pretty. You are a prisoner of your own meat.
Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings.
Positive emotion trumps negative emotion every time. We all yearn for reconciliation, for catharsis.
I feel as if I’d been out in a pounding rain for forty-eight hours without an umbrella or a coat.
I’m soaked to the skin with emotion.
I don't get angry. I tend to internalise. I can't express anger. That's one of the problems I have. I grow a tumour instead.
Be careful. Emotional entanglements can lead us down very dangerous paths.
— Do you know what the most primitive emotion people have is?
— No.
— It’s fear.
Respira profondo,
apri le tue braccia al mondo.
e abbraccia tutto quello che ci sta,
tutta l'emozione che ci sta.
