Nov. 10, 2005 Why do we, as humans have so much emotion. I realize it varies from time to time with each individual but I really want to know why? Why do we laugh, cry, Panic, lie, etc? This is so complex that I decided to research this further. One can laugh at a funny story or a memory. I know we wouldn't laugh seeing a little old lady falling down or even slipping on a banana peal for that matter. We are better then this. But if that same old lady slipped on that banana peal, landing on her duff with her legs in the air, showing off her polka doted bloomers, when a bunch of monkeys poking her with sticks, well then I probably would laugh. Jokes are good for making someone laugh but you have to count in the "Phony Phactor." Some may not get the joke and fake laughter just because they want to fit in. Two cannibals were eating lunch. One said to the other. "I hate my mother in law." The other one replied,"Then just eat the potatoes." I would laugh at that joke unless two cannibals were really eating there mothers in law. Well I might smile a little. Fear is another emotion that is very over rated. People are scared for no reason. If we cannot face our fears then sooner or later everything will overwhelm us. Many fear the unknown or maybe it stems from already experiencing something that hurt them. This is justifiable. Face your fears and they will go away. I had a friend that had a fear of flying. I brought him to a top of a cliff side. He looked over the edge and after a while his fear of heights went away. I turned to him and slapped him on the back. He lost his balance and fell over the cliff. After he was released from the hospital he booked a flight out of the country. He said, He just wanted to be as far away from me as possible. If you are smiling at what was just read then your laugh mechanism is on track and i am glad to see you in a happy mood. I have a great dog. Many pet owners love there animals and treat them as a part of there family. If you have a pet for so many years then it is like having a child. My dog happens to have been with me for fourteen years. She is a very well mannered animal that loves my family back. If you own a pet then you know what I am talking about. I met a man that thinks that animals do not have emotions. Others think they do not know or understand. I can be in the other room and ask my dog, "Kiki" to fetch me a sneaker I lost and she will hunt it down and bring it to me. I was getting an appliance delivered to me and told the guy that thought animals have no emotions to be careful not to crush my dog under the tailgate of the truck. He said "Why, if it cuts the dogs feet off they wont feel it." I just thought that was the stupidest thing I have ever heard. "Kiki" plays peek a boo with us. All we have to do is ck her to play peek a boo and she takes her paws and covers her eyes with them. Then she peeks out from between them. She also watches television with us and in fact is a huge part of our family. We have her shaved down for the past fourteen years. Keeshonds are very hairy and can get matted and dirty. We noticed she had lost a lot of weight. The next day she wasn't eating and very lethargic. The day after that she looked like a skeleton. We started getting worried and took her to the vet. He took some blood and x-rays and said she was not going to live more then a week. We took her home and gave her medication and love. She now, no longer could get up off of her little bed in the corner of the room. In the middle of the night Kiki managed to get up off of her pillow. She walked over to my bed and licked my face. I woke up and smiled at her. Kiki then collapsed on the floor and passed away. I guess she just wanted to say goodbye. She was one of the greatest pets anyone could have known. I am a lucky man for knowing her. I have three children and a great wife. My family is what I concentrate on mostly. Oh I have siblings and aunts and Uncles but rarely see them anymore. My older brother is focused on money while my older sister is more into control. I do have a younger sister that has five children and is doing just fine. She is into her family also. You see, control is a sickness. People that have the need to be in control of every situation and everyone around them are ill in my view. Live and let live I always say. No one can or should control another human being, especially this one. My brother is focused on getting my parents money or property. "What will be, will be." Money matters when it comes to the sickly elderly should be determined after they are gone. The one ready to meet there maker should have wishes when they are gone. They should not be forced to sell there home before the fact nor be controlled into something they do not want. As I said in a previous article, my mom is sick and has been diagnosed with cancer. I have been told to stay away or I will be arrested. I will attempt to call my mom or write a letter telling her in a way goodbye. I have done nothing wrong to be arrested; this was a way of controlling the situation. If I enter the scene then I, in fact will ruin there plans. Greed is a sad, sad, emotion. I feel sorry for anyone addicted to greed or control Panic is a disorder I am glad to never to have felt. This comes from the overwhelming situations we face everyday. Some can deal with it and others can't. For the ones that can't breathe in and let it out. Just be happy for what you have and try not to worry about things we can't control. Take care of yourself and don't let anyone push you around. Be independent and ignore anyone that tries to undermine your situations. Now, I can't leave you like this. I am a happy person so I will bring you back to where we started, the funny factor. I was driving down the road and really had to pee. I saw a function going on at a banquet hall and my eyeballs were afloat, so I pulled into the lot and ran in side. There must have been a hundred priests sitting inside. I took care of the business at hand then walked into the room where the priests were. I was talking to one of them for a few minutes. I asked why they were there. The father just told me it was some sort of convention. I looked at him and thought for a second then said "I get it, its Fathers day." And coincidently it was. Thanks for the read and have a great day and please, take care. ------------ About the author: Bob D Caterino is a writer that we all either hate or love.
