Should we let go of our feelings?

I'm feeling a bit melancholic...

But I shouldn't be expressing that here, since we're supposed to be "cleansing ourselves of emotion" or "finding ecstasy in merging with the divine." 😁

Oh, right. 😁

I wouldn't know anything about that. My cat is currently busy experiencing her own version of "divine union" by snuggling against my chest, so I guess I'll just try to empathize with her. It’s kind of like secondhand smoke.

I envy you. 😢

Petting a cat is one of those rare joys that can brighten even the gloomiest days of our human existence. 😢

Emotions are physical experiences. We might only truly be free of them once we pass away. Extreme emotions are exhausting and inevitably lead to their own opposites. It is better to maintain a steady vibration around the center. 🙂

Honestly, they’re mostly mental/psychological. To me, feelings just feel like thoughts that are way more intense and "heavy."

I agree. Sometimes you can channel them or direct that energy... other times, you just have to sit back and watch them pass. Whatever you do, just remember—they always pass.

Lubaf isn't going anywhere. It’s just the way things are, plain and simple. ☕

Women tend to grasp this much more intuitively. Because of our hormonal makeup, we possess a far more grounded and realistic understanding of how the human body and physical reality actually function. Men—especially those who lack sensitivity—often rely too heavily on the illusion of control and lose themselves in abstract concepts. They simply lack the "grounding" that comes naturally to us. 🙂 That is why men can never be a Witch. 😉

you guys think everything is just some hormonal mood swing or a passing phase, you honestly have zero clue ☕

You just reminded me... where is the Witch? He really had a gift.

Everyone walked away with a little something. 🙂

He made a dramatic exit after using some magic to tie me to this forum with a pink ribbon. 😢

He was quite a rarity, though. Men rarely possess that kind of talent. Most women have at least a little bit of it. 🙂

Everyone got the full package, honestly. It’s rare to see people actually pick through the options instead of just grabbing whatever crumbs are left over ☕

I think I finally get why you keep popping in and out without ever actually leaving for good. 🤣

Honestly, though, I’m glad. It would be a little too surreal around here without you.

That’s why they have these two:



(so, which one of them is the 'witch'?)

I don't really have the energy to watch the whole thing, but at first glance, the one on the left seems to have that certain spark.

I need to perform some sort of counter-spell, though I suspect this will all fade away once I find something more engaging than these forums to occupy my mind. 😁

She might actually have a knack for some light magic. 🙂

Neither.

So if that's the case, why on earth does everyone insist that emotions are the language of the soul? 🤔

Should we strive to be devoid of emotion?

Until now, I had assumed this particular dilemma was reserved solely for Mr. Spock and the inhabitants of the planet Vulcan. What manner of individual could possibly exist entirely untouched by feeling? Perhaps some sort of mutant hybrid, a mere android masquerading as a man?
