Now that you see this self perceived issue, could you tell yourself why this issue arises at all enough so to bring it here for input? Is there a root to these feelings? How and what did it feel like when you realized you didn't really want to be there because its not something you'd want? You call it Forced Acceptance so I hope my last sentence doesn't sound presumptuous.
In...100% honesty, if you want to understand why she is asking such and is as she is.
You should ask her
Oh and 110% honesty, I'd be scared to go into a room, lay down, be put unconscious, sliced open, by strangers, fiddled with, bits of me removed or new stuff added, sewn shut, then wake up all alone sore and pained with nurses who (least the hospitals I've been to) can barely share a shred of a real eye wrinkling smile.
...Naw, I'd be horrified... How would you not be?? Its absolutely logical. Emotions aren't illogical, they incite illogical thinking, they're very, very logical, I'd argue Superational Logical.
Are you sure yer not just a bamf who doesn't afraid o' anything??
I look at life in terms of productivity. I'm here to teach and learn. So asking here is to possibly learn the spiritual implications or reasons for what I consider counterproductive thinking
I'd agree that emotions themselves aren't illogical and the reaction to those emotions are the more illogical part of it so maybe I worded it incorrectly.
If you're horrified, you're still holding on to this illusion a little to much. Like I said earlier in the thread, the thought of dying matters not to me. Only that those here that hold an emotional attachment to their perceived loss of me would be the only unfortunate aspect of death.
Otherwise, it's not that big of a deal.
Emotion can be primary if one is balanced enough to consciously process it and allow love to come through.
Other than love coming through, being able to have that ah ha moment where one can sense the truth and the lesson involved in a particular interaction or situation, one can then learn from it. In this instance, love may not be warranted as ones lesson wouldn't have been presented had some emotion not been illicited. So yes, emotionally speaking, it's not all useless as I wasnt trying to imply that all emotions are counterproductive. That would just make someone callous and indifferent to the world which I am definitely not.
