How are the two terms related?

How do they differ?

At what point does feeling become feelings?

Do you feel, without feelings?

I was about to post the exact same thing.

I felt that I can feel- and that per haps another may feel as well.

So this works out splendidly.

Would you care to expand on why you feel and why feelings feel?

Would you care to expand on why you feel and why feelings feel?

I decided to reevaluate my ideas on ego and emotions, after a friend mentioned that what I was suggesting before is the makings of sociopaths and psychopaths. It wasn’t what I had in mind; if you know what I mean. So, was hoping to assess whether or not there is a phase between a given experience and judgment of said experience.

I’m not exactly sure why I feel, sometimes, it is a big part of the reason I am interested in the topic. In particular, this one part of me that is rather vengeful, and would just as soon rip off someone’s head and shit down their throat, as to deal with their fuctartedness.

See, I really don’t enjoy feeling like that; it’s toxic. However, despite the fact that I am aware, others are entitled to their delusions of grandeur, even when they’re expressing their jack-assed self-righteousness, by claiming my reality is delusional.

Right now, I’m just trying to figure out if it is possible to rid myself of that part of me, while being mindful of what else might be lost in the process.

I’m not sure feelings do feel, unless we were to call what I described above as a feeling. In that case, it is a mirror, and reflects what it sees in others. I think what it sees is called hate.

well we are a product of our environment.

time of day, energy level, stress level- all of this can effect how you cope- or not cope.

the thing is- people generally will avoid people who are toxic.

so that brings me to choose your battles carefully. Some things very much is worth a fight- and other things roll with the punches.

if you know that you have to eat to function- that sugars - makes you- act out- or not optimal- then recognize that when you are at a handicap that to defer a shout match is likely a good idea. whatever the stimuli- or deficiency to your ebb and flow. (per your optimal functioning)

with out - tho constructive critique we will never build a better world.

being human is not a perfect art/science.... it contains with in it the beauty to be wrong- to make mistakes- and for doing things exactly right- all at the same time.

I am famous for the motto- own your day. Own this moment. So- with that- the rest is up to you. Hugs!
