The Fallacy of Emotions.

you know emotions are these things we have, but can you really define them? I mean, how can you truly know what fear is? What love is? If you don’t know how other people actually feel. Because, as we all know, when you talk about emotions you aren’t always true. So can’t what one person thinks is love actually be hatred. Couldn’t emotions just be these fake things. I mean, what if they were actually not real. What if they have been created by society?

I don’t know. These kinds of things scare me sometimes. Because of, of course, of the idea of love.

I don’t know, as always. Emotions could just be this fallacy that society created to rationalize their existence. And I know, they have scientific basis for some of them: fear causes perspiration and so on, but still; what if?
