Amidst Thoughts 2

By Abdalla | September 29, 2009

Last time I was in this type of mental status I wrote a post I aptly named “Amidst Thoughts“…now I am hitting you all with Amidst Thoughts 2!

Looking back at the past year I can only glance, gaze and stare and still only say WOW! I mean all the things I have gone through, the people I have met, the enemies I have made, the things I have purchased, the emotions I have experienced, the new cultures I have learned about, the new food I have tried, the many new races and tribes I have mingled with..heck even the things I have learned at university -apart from the arabic language- have been amazing. God truly has created a world of many mysteries and wonders that are beyond the scope and comprehension of a single human being living on this earth today – how dare they say the world just “came into existance” by itself????

..Whats new brother??..

As usual I am around, dealing with life in a “bring all you got” stance where I am ready to take on anything at any time. I believe this sort of approach to life prepares you for everything and anything. However, the things God can throw you at anytime could be more than you can handle. I mean, I would have never thought I would be complete enemies with a fellow family member – althought not an immediate family member but never-the-less a family member indeed. It’s incredible how things appear from out of nowhere and hits you in the face kind of like a sucker punch. But what I have mastered is the fact that it’s not about how well you handle the situation but what you learn from it.

..Emotions…Feelings…?

During the past year I saw many couples and then I saw many couples split. I think theres a big misconception amongst people these days, especially the young ones out there, the people we like to call “youths”. What exaxtly are emotions? You may describe it as the “feeling funny” inside, like a type of excitement, empathy, passion even.

Infact, the British Dictionary describes the word “emotion” as:

An affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness. It is usually accompanied by certain physiological changes, as increased heartbeat or respiration, and often overt manifestation, as crying or shaking.

Now lets compare this to the definition of “love” by the same dictionary:

A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. – A sexual passion or desire even.

Do you see the difference between the two? One is a clear understandable feeling, a clear “attachment” where the other is an unexplained feeling of which you have no control. What do you think?

Science describes Emotion/Love as:


physiological changes, accompanied by the cognitive elements such as thinking.

I think I have been experiencing something along these lines lately but only God knows what exactly it is as I have no clue what so ever…blah love..good if you got it…shame if you dont I guess?

So? What Are you Thinking about oh great one?

Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll….hahaha not really. I am set to start my 2nd year as a medical student. I am looking forward to it, its really nice getting back with the guys and girls of the class, my mixed race arab – international friends. If any of you are reading this then I just want to say i’ll see you all soon!

I think I better get some sleep, too much things in my head and so little time! Expect an “amidst thoughts 3″ soon.
