Friction of Emotion by Robert T. Sumalpong

Friction of emotion is one way how emotion works in triggering our understanding. Most study of emotion say that emotion is a chemical reaction of our body. Or it is the reflection of the mind. In my own discovery I can say that emotion is the movement on the senses. Which make living and non-living things to react either positively or negatively? In human, emotion is reactions that create feelings. Sometimes we say that feeling is an emotion but it is not an emotion. It is the result of emotion. Friction is understood as the two opposite force of energy that comes together and causes heat. Friction of emotion comes in a different way. Friction of emotion comes through internal reaction between the senses and the mind. The senses are monopolizing the brain to react willfully on its command. Example; when we heard the wonderful beat of music our body moves as the beat registered by our ears. This is one of the example on how our sense of hearing monopolizing the mind to react upon its command. Friction of emotion is part of humans existing. There are times that friction of emotion gives good credit to humans. And there are times causes humans to do bad things. There are possibilities that emotion can cause unhealthy behavior. This will happen when we did not mindful of our emotional behavior. There are times we can’t control emotion. And these are common to everyone. As we grow we are going to learn to control the reaction of our emotion. Many times I ride bus in going to work and in going home. Being a passenger I always observe the emotional reaction of other passenger on every situation of the bus. There are times the bus driver drive the bus so fast. And the other passenger reactions are so tense. Others can’t hold there emotion and say to the driver that please drive the bus in normal way. One time I set near at the driver’s seat so that I could observe on the driver and his emotional reaction while driving. And my purpose on observing the driver is how his emotion affects his way of driving the bus. As I observe the driver I realize that his sense of sight, sense of hearing and sense of touch are the things commanding him to work accurately. And when his three senses combined he become so connected to his emotion and cause him to work normally.
