Part 2.
For example. If I ran around the forum saying. "Oh the girls are running to Ed, so I'll call them out and be mean to them until they conform to my will !".... I'd feel ashamed. At the same time I can see that kind of behavior to be petty, and it really would do more damage than good if I were actually like that.
It would be stupid...lol...you have some warped views on women, as I have read them... and then again, your experiences with women may very well enforce those views...so...
My views on women are they are just people. A lot of them could use a nice uppercut, but that doesn't mean I want to do that. I'm very fond of them.
The reason why people call me a misogynist, is because of the forums 3rd wave feminists. I say feminism is retarded, and in return I'm a woman hater, and the groupthinkers, just follow along and say I hate women.
In some cases, namely the sociopath/psychopath, as we know, these emotions simply aren't there. Now a sociopath may not want to go around screwing with people, but in society they'll be frowned on over small things. Like moving forward in heavy traffic so someone on the other side of the road cannot turn and not feel anyway about it, though they would curse if someone did the same thing to them.
...lol...that's a lousy example...
That's a modest example. Road rage happens when people do things along those lines.
The conscience is in place, and we can override it with decisions, as we do. But on the most part we don't because there are emotions that will appear and fuck with us.
LOL....excuses already...? Nah...you make a choice, and Moonshine made an excellent point about emotions and the validity thereof...might want to look at that.
Still the conscience is in place, and on the most part people avoid it's scorn. This is a matter of fact.
Sure everything comes down to choice
Correct
But in a world where everything is borrowed, all things have a price.
What? Does not tie in to previous statement. Explain the logic.
Correctional emotion is a price we must pay for doing stupid shit in a place that is only temporary ours to borrow.
Some lack the capacity for correctional emotions.
Again, 'correctional' emotions? Horse shit....this is the same lame excuse clause.
Guilt and shame are real. They are a preventative for crossing lines. If that weren't the case, we'd never have made it this far.
The kind of emotions from others in the same species that works for your well being.
That does not require nor presuppose emotions. That is a choice.
The wrong choices don't come without consequence. And consequence is an emotional issue.
This is functionality and forwardness. The best of what we do is done with emotion.
...lol...really? I think not. Empathy/ understanding is not about doing with emotion. It is about Choice.
Empathy is purely about emotion. Without the knowledge of the emotion itself, there is no understanding in Empathy.
Emotion in itself is a very logical thing in an intuitive way. Intuitive, so long as it's not self centered.
The driving force behind the choices we make would be of the will itself. But due to emotions, we don't go around shooting ourselves in the foot on purpose because it doesn't feel nice. That doesn't mean we can't go past the emotion, but in that case, life goes downhill when we border past emotional intuition. Not only will the guilt and shame kick in, but it can also be paranoid, and if the cats out of the bag, you're life destroyed due to employers or clients and family or friends or whatever the case, detaching themselves.
Call it what you will, emotions are correct in a healthy mind. Ignoring them is never wise.
