Emotion Charades
“Imagine a world without emotions”
It was not your birthday. There were no special occasions. A dear friend
nevertheless decided to buy you a gift, something she knew would make you overjoyed. She wrapped it beautifully
with colorful papers and attractive ribbons. She excitedly jumped out of the
closet to surprise you with a gift. But you had no emotional reaction. You
simply looked at her and the gift with a blank stare.
Wouldn’t this disappoint your friend terribly? Wouldn’t your
world appear to be so dull and
unexciting?
EMOTION
What is it?
“spontaneous reaction and movement either towards an
appraised pleasurable object or stimulus (positive) or away from an appraised unpleasurable object or
stimulus (negative) with its corresponding physiological and
motor reactions”(Fr. Ben Carlos, S.J.)

different emotions
That is why sexual attraction is mistaken for love
