Sometimes I feel like it would be easier to live without emotions. When I was first time in India I had a thought rambling i my mind many times: "What have i done to deserve this" and I mean that what have I done so good that everything is going so smoothly and well... Never have I thought about the difficulties in my life the same... Life is hard and "Experience is not what happens to us, it's what we do with what has happened to us"
And there might be fairness in life... Nobody knows what is beyond. That is why it is so hard to understand the moves life makes on us...
People are self-centered by nature; every time, for instance, some one close to us dies we start to think of the person and their relation to us and how we would have wanted for their life to continue. And how it is not fair for them to pass on and other, not so good people, keep on living and even wasting their life... we say. But who are we to judge anything? Life is and continues. Maybe the people who have died get to that better place. Maybe the point in life is not to be happy here but to suffer this life in ascetism to achieve the place in the Sun.

emotions are what make us human though, and although a lot of pain and suffering goes with them, think of the good stuff like love and happiness -- i certainly would never want to give them up!
