Title: Blocking good emotions
Post by: daem0n on August 13, 2005, 02:02:36
this occured to me when reading Good Omen by neil gaiman and terry pratchett :D:D:D
i tried to chuckle, but somehow blocked it and was just vaguely smiling, leaving it unexpressed
as i woke up this (next) morning i was in wonderful mood, and understood that i still haven't laughed from that one, and was feeling just about to laugh
.
.
.
now i laughed for some time, and my mood got slightly down, but still haven't laughed all of it

the point is when we block some emotion we go around feeling just about to express it, why don't we do this to positive emotions and have a great time for the rest of our lives

(of course, from "spiritual" ( or my inner critic for that matter) point of view we should express everything, but what the heck, this one is easy, i will read the rest of the book, covince myself that i am doing this for dear AP readers, feel even better (hm, shouldn't mention it, this is a form of expression after all), and see how much laughter i can accumulate)

now it struck me that it can be done for PSD, wonder which negative emotion can withstand the power of laughter ;)

As far as I know, none of them can withstand it!
Joy and laughter bring about not only emotional changes, but physical changes as well. There is so much of your body (bodies - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) that is strengthened a great deal from laughter.

I agree with Lola - laugh your butt off!  :lol:

I know I did when I've read Good Omens.  :)
