Lens of Emotions
Chocolate cake; loaded with chocolate flavor, moist, tender and the perfect amount of sweetness layered with a creamy icing that doesn’t overpower the rest of the desert. You decide to cut into it and you take a bite realizing it’s not all cracked up to what it’s supposed to be. Cake and humans are the same, everyone stores poison arrows in their back pocket. Are we just as beautiful on the outside as we are on the inside, or are we rotten?
Simply, we all love group cohesiveness which complies with control, priming us for outlooks. Thus far, our soul is what makes us who we are at the end of the day. Ingroups and outgroups give individuals a sense of self and proximity. The groups we place ourselves in become us.
Emotions are a privilege; being able to experience heartbreak is what makes us alive. Some people have big hearts which come with big emotions and others lack emotion. Our desired self gives us a lens of how we handle what is thrown at us.
Being mindful of everything around us is cortisol and stress related. Handlining the school assignments back to back, work and still being able to have time to do what you love to do on the weekends.

—Well, it’s bold and evocative, StoneHarbor. I’ll give you that.
—The metaphor is vivid but pretty brutal.
—That cake couldn’t just be dry and tasteless? You had to make it poisonous and rotten? 🙂
Simply, we all love group cohesiveness which complies with control, priming us for outlooks. Thus far, our soul is what makes us who we are at the end of the day. Ingroups and outgroups give individuals a sense of self and proximity. The groups we place ourselves in become us.
—I’m struggling to see the connection between our innate rottenness and our need for group cohesion.
—Are you suggesting we’ll fake being anything for the sake of inclusion?
—In other words, is this the beginning of an argument about the danger of witless conformity?
Emotions are a privilege; being able to experience heartbreak is what makes us alive. Some people have big hearts which come with big emotions and others lack emotion. Our desired self gives us a lens of how we handle what is thrown at us.
—Again, I’m working hard here: Is this more evidence of our insincere facades?
—We hide what our heart commands because exposing them is dangerous?
Being mindful of everything around us is cortisol and stress related. Handlining the school assignments back to back, work and still being able to have time to do what you love to do on the weekends.
—This is another tough transition.
—I get that suppressing our real personalities all day would be stressful.
—Are you just expressing that it goes into a big basket of stresses for students who work?
Does that help?
