Why don't Emotions come with a DELETE button?

Wouldn't it be easy if we just had the DELETE button for our emotions?

We have pain killers to kill the pain in our body. But they are prescribed only once we know we have the pain. Antibiotics to clear the existing infections and make our system stronger. But they are also prescribed after we are aware of being infected, sometimes earlier. Vaccines are the only things that are given before we even have a potential problem. So maybe we should have an EMOTIONAL VACCINE (EV) induced at the time of birth!!!! I am an inventor!!!! I should be rich!!!! Sorry ain't happening sister!!!

Looks like we only react when something happens.'Prevention is better than cure'. But we don't necessarily have the gear ready to deal with emotional attacks. We should be grateful that we are getting somewhere in our medical and scientific fields unlike emotional, else it would be a disaster. So why has no one thought about EV??? I wonder....don't you??

It seems as though we have a default system of non-tolerance towards rejection. I think GOD, forgive me if I may even dare to say so, faces the the same dilema. He just can't accept failure and discard anything. Look around you. How many millions of different creatures he has created. We don't even know half of them. How many faces, animals, plants, stars, planets, etc. etc., has he created. He can't deal with it being enough. It didn't turn out the way I wanted....let me add a little bit colour in it...Maybe I should stretch his chin a bit...ooh I could give him an extra toe...Nah let ME use that FORD guys idea and make all these models in black.....Let Me make the mountains in a triangle...oh I'm bored different types of triangles...earth in a circle....and moon...I'm really not sure so till I decide let it keep changing shapes...........we get the point dude.

So we've got it from the very start. Cannot just simple say NO...NADA...NAHI...STOP...DELETE... till it becomes absolutely fatal and sometimes even not after that.. Why can't we just press the DELETE button on our emotions? Our default system is so messed up that even though we created the DELETE option we are still not confident of using it.

WARNING!! YOU ARE ABOUT TO DELETE SELECTED ITEMS!! YES CONTINUE!!! ARE YOU SURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO DELETE THESE ITEMS!! YES CONTINUE!!! OH DAMN THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN DELETED!!! SHALL WE CREATE THE RECYCLE BIN/ DELETED ITEMS FOLDER JUST IN CASE!! YES CONTINUE!! WOULD YOU LIKE TO EMPTY THE DELETED ITEMS FOLDER? IF I DIDN'T THEN WHY DID I DELETE THOSE ITEMS? WELL WE THOUGHT MAYBE...MAYBE WHAT....YES DELETE/EMPTY....WARNING!!!SELECTED ITEMS WILL BE PERMANENTLY DELETED FROM THIS FOLDER!!! FOR DUCK SAKE DELETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

YOUR FOLDER IS NOW EMPTY!!!!!LOL...I had fun writing that bit...hhehhehehe!!

OK seriously, why is it so hard to just let go? Let go of a desire, a dream, a thought, a fragrance, a card, a pen, a toothbrush, a wrapping paper, a carrier bag, a mini statement, an ice cream bowl till the last lick, a glass of water till the last drop, a nandos till the last chip, a person till the last breathe and after, an emotion for ever and ever!!

You know it's not going to be yours. You know it is gone. You know it's never coming back. But you still hold on.

It hurts but you go ahead.You want it but can't have it. You have it but don't want it. You let it go, now want it back. You swore and crossed your heart. You lost it when you owned it and seek when it were lost. You played with it until it broke, then tried to mend it and make it work. Why can't our heart just be under lock? Why can't emotions be out of stock?

Almost everything can or potentially be dissected, constructed and reinvented. Are emotions the only thing that came without a manual? It's amazing that in an ever evolving inquisitive community, we have not found the urge to resolve this core issue of unexplained emotions which are directly proportional to our desire for everything in life. I guess a few would have tried but the realised that there is actually nothing much we can do about it, so let's just make anti-depressants, rehab clinics and kamasutra...hehehe

Isn't it ironic, that the one thing that rules our lives is the one thing that can destroy it. I wish I had DA VINCI CODE for our hearts and minds. I would protect it like the Holy Grail..No kidding.. All we know is all that we need to know about emotions. And still we have no clue about them. If we know love hurts then why are we stupid enough to fall in love? If we know that a break up causes heart ache then why do we fall apart? We know we are not suppose to eat GU (Hindi for poo) for dessert and we don't. We don't follow the rules of the heart in the same way... do we? Even though it is historically proven to be painful if not followed as per instructions.(though I really love the chocolate mousse and pudding by notoriously famous GU')

He doesn't love you...how many more hurtful ways can he translate it to you. She couldn't care less for you than her penny change she left at the 99p shop. But we still care for them, still love them, can't do without them.

Why do emotions play on shuffle and repeat, why can't they simply be on auto-delete?
Couldn't they just be for use and throw, enlighten me oh mind on emotions and more!!

  1. if we could delete anything we dont like, the life would be meaningless. this will kill the "hope" which keeps us running looking forward for the better things to come...the hope that we meet again...

    As somebody once told me and i quote (hope she remembers)

    "always remember someone you loved, with the good times you spent".

    so i dont want to lose anything....

    "We know we are not suppose to it GU (Hindi for poo) for dessert and we don't. We don't follow the rules of the heart in the same way... do we? Even though it is historically proven to be painful if not followed as per instructions.(though I really love the chocolate mousse and pudding by notoriously famous GU')........
    personally i think emotions are volatile way over rated.yes yes they make u what u r sensitive or out right cold blooded .....formed on the building blocks of experience cemented into place by circumstances and all that blah blah.... whether or not u admit it time is a huge healer. the important thing is how u go about it. love does not hurt no one, its the creatures who don't understand it.
    so honte ghuma seeti baja ke bol bhaiya ... See More
