Today i have been in deep introspection mode . I cant speak for anyone else but i feel that i am uncertain as to what genuine emotions are anymore . Every day we suppress or fake or whatever , emotion . Is being happy that the Proteas smashed the Indians in the Sub Continent a genuine emotion as far as being happy goes. These questions are hard to answer and i have therefore taken today as my day of introspection to sort out the real from the superficial . But before i can do that i have to acertain which is which and this is where the problem lies . Opinions would be valuable as it adds to my field data and i feel i can only make a proper study of this if i have other people's opinions .
Has the modern world we live in where fantasy and splendour are not as respected before spoilt our views ?

Hmm, interesting point. I can see where you're coming from here. Yet there is still much analysis to be done, and at this current juncture my contribution will simply be:
Pancakes.
Pancakes! ah brilliant, flashbacks of nationals.
anyway as i've said on mxit, read the god delusion by richard dawkins.
well whatis true happiness? is there one true happiness, or true sadness, or true whatever? or is it different for everyone? a general true happiness should be enlightenment and acknowledging the fact that we are in a constant complex cycle towards an ultimate complexity, and being content with that. all "true" emotion, i believe, and all "moral" values can be stemmed towards the move to an ultimate complexity.
ok now u've heard my kak, lol
This comment isn't really relevant to the blog post. I just wanted to let Adil know that I'm reading the God Delusion at the moment, and also harrass Remo for doing his "masters" (hah!), which is unabling him from reading Hogfather.
i will read both those books tonight , yes tonight .
