People don't believe you when you tell them the bad truth, because that's not what they wanna hear. When you prove yourself right, it then makes everyone unhappy. Is that why people lie, why people go to lengths to hide certain things? To save everyone the trouble of hurting? Perhaps. Yes. Yes.

That's why I prefer it too.

Two types of withdrawal symptoms

One is whereby you suffer from withdrawing. The other is in which you withdraw because you're suffering.

The second should be so much better, unless it's followed by the first.

Reason & emotion // Superego & id

I always think I'm damn logical and reasonable. But when I end up feeling shitty over the 'right' decisions I've made, I wonder - are they really worth it, and am I actually emotional and needy of happiness rather than correctness?

Such a dilemma, isn't it. For my Creative Writing class this week, we're supposed to write on the tensions between reason and emotion. Reading on research from a psych perspective, it says that emotions are an automatic system, while reasoning is controlled. I guess I can parallel this to another topic I blogged about previously, about the brain and how there are the desires of the id, and the morals of the superego. Then I guess, the ego probably directs and manages both these sets of opposites.

I wish the ego was as simple a matter as how proud I was. Lawl. Meh.

From time to time I should give in to my emotions, my desires. If I'm just going to keep listening strictly to my morals and reasons, I'm going to become so emotionally tortured...

I just hope it all plays out well.
Please do.
Because when it comes to emotions, the game becomes not just about you anymore.
