Silly man; Silly theories

I have had this blog for a full year. I have only used it for.. about half of that time. If you used to read my blog while I was active on blogger, then you will be familiar with what I am about to say.

Last summer, I attended debate camp. At debate camp, I attended lectures - which have become my favorite things to look back upon. There was one man who was humorous, and kind, and loved horror movies. To short description, he told us an idea which I believe I have heard of or perhaps thought of before. He told us that fear was perhaps the only emotion we had. Now, not to repeat my other earlier post, but instead to just touch upon my thoughts at the moment, I have come to conclude - and to admit to myself - that we cannot understand emotion to some degree. Our psychologists and analysts may be able to understand quite more then I may, but ultimately emotion is an endless mystery with many discoveries to be found. However, back to this man of horror films, he explained that fear was the only emotion we had. Love was the fear of being alone, happiness was the fear of being sad, and so on. At the moment, I had a very hard time accepting this. Recently, though, I have come to these same summer thoughts - as well as many others - and analyzed them again, after a year or being wafted in and out of my head.

I have decided that I do agree with this man, that there really can be only one basic emotion, and that every other emotion revolves itself around it, creating itself from it or from the lack of it. Such as shadow is only available if there is light, emotion can only be available from the lack of, the gain of, or the dispersement of one other. Now, do I believe it is fear that is the sun of emotions? Perhaps. Though it seems ultimately very nihilist, it is on the other hand not, if you look at it from a Nietzsche-sort of view, or some other nice philosopher that analyzes from a disconnected view.

Now, all of this might have been quite obvious to you. It might have been something you have not heard of, yet it all makes sense. Maybe you disagree with me. Feel free to comment if you do read this long paragraph, as I would love to hear your thoughts. However, I do believe that this large paragraph has scared away many and the few followers/readers I still obtain.

Today is Saturday, and it is 10:21 in the morning. I must practice my harp, I must straighten out my room, and I must sit and sort things out. I hope that the day is lovely.
