Do you think emotions have the ability to temporarily confuse even the most enlightened, clear thinkers? Also what role do emotions have in a clear thinker's life? Do they simply, CHOOSE to become 'addicted' to something just for amusement/as a form of expression? I mean you gotta give some meaning to your life right? I'm asking these questions... because I feel like once upon a time I was very close to content... I'm actually one of the only people I know to have found this contentment, so sometimes I feel like I keep returning to it.... I'm the most intuitive person I know (in person

).

Also I have this habit that probably stems from the fact that I used to feel very at ease.... I keep having pity on people, or trying to be a crutch for them, as soon as they express discontentment. Or I give them logical solutions to stuff... How do I stop having pity on people? I find this situation to be almost amusing now - this girl came to my apartment in tears, clearly incredibly distraught, and I guess assumed that I was the normal 'dick' guy who would want to use her - and so she said something like "sorry, you probably find me annoying right now" or something, trying to keep her distance... and the part that bothered me the most about it is that she herself is very intuitive, perhaps more so than myself. My only thought was "DO YOU THINK I CAN'T SEE THAT YOU'RE SUFFERING RIGHT NOW, PLEASE LET ME DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING TO HELP YOU". But I didn't know how! All I could do is ask for a hug and give it... because she wasn't going to open up to me, or do anything else.... But how do you deal with feelings of pity? And she's also confused... she's super intuitive but it's like she doesn't know it, so she pretends her intuition is her own delusions... I think I do that to some degree maybe.

I think you're right, as I talk to you I feel more alive than before haha... but alas you're on the internet and it's hard to express anything authentically. I'm probably never going to see you. But you're there. A human like all of us. Just happen to be more enlightened than most of us lol.

Where should I post on your site?
