Laws of Emotion

The more I've thought about it, the more the analogy kinda makes sense. Emotions can sometimes be analogous to laws that govern the movement of massive (as in, having mass) objects. Except emotions do not have mass and neither it's an object. Shut up. 

Given my recent events, it has become clear that emotions have such a thing as inertia or momentum. It will keep going in one direction unless something else comes into the picture. This is the first law. Love or hate someone and you will continue doing so unless someone steps in.

The change in your actions is directly proportional to the emotions you have and it is in the direction of the person in question. This is the second law. What you will do (or willing to do) for a person increases as your emotions towards the person increases.

And of course, the one that does not need to be rephrased, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is the third law. There will be reciprocation of your actions based on your emotions but the consequences are not necessarily the same. Yeah I admit this one is a bit fuzzy.

So no analogy is completely air-tight in its argument. But I'd like to think that my hypothesis is true. Not exactly scientifically measurable but I guess you have to take it by faith.

I was talking to a friend and he said that the ability to read non-verbal language is both a blessing and a curse. I haven't given it much thought about that statement but it is starting to be one of those that is becoming increasingly true as I ponder on that.

7 weeks of intense work and I finally have a little bit of time to rest. And then back to tight deadlines again. And more reflecting.

I'd imagine it was going to be hard.

Yes, it was. Yes, it is.

Hermit mode, on.
