I wrote this in high school in my TOK class. Its not really a story but it had some meaning to me again when I read back over it and while somethings have changed this is pretty much still how I am today which doesn't mean a lot cause it wasn't to long ago...
How do emotions interact with reason, sense perception and language?
Emotions in almost all cases mess with and ruin all of these things. They can make you not act rationally or think about things before they happen and they can cause you to stop speaking because there are no words that can be said anymore to make things seem real and seem okay and acceptable. When you get really angry at someone sometimes you can’t talk anymore because you don’t know how to get across what you are trying to do and the anger clouds your judgment and makes you go with your first instinct to solve the problem and that might be to get rid of it and in America that is called murder and is not as allowed as you would think. We have a lot of first instincts and they are all okay and fine but at the same time would be very bad if allowed to run wild. Being out of control and unable to control your emotions would be volatile for the whole world and every one around you. Language is how you put your emotions into words to get things across but when you are to emotional then you can’t handle that and you lose it. Emotions are the over powering part of our systems and because of this everything is connected to them so they are who and what we are and the things we do happen because of them. Being able to associate with other people is because of emotion to be social and then the things we do to handle out emotions like speak and understand then and tell the things around us how they are and how they could be. There would be no reason or perception or language without the emotional ability to have these things other wise it would mean nothing if we were talking in person about something cause we would feel nothing and nothing we say would matter and being alive wouldn’t matter and we would all eventually die
