Inside every person are common emotions; fear, sadness, happiness, joy. There comes a time in everybody's life where you have to act on your emotions, regardless of the consequences. In the real world, you can't tell the future, yet alone your own, so when you feel in danger, you act on your feelings, right? Sometimes humans get 'instincts' or clues to help them determine if someone -or something- is safe to approach. Like dipping your toe into a pool to test the temperature of the water. If our instincts tell us someone plans to harm us, we will once again, act on our emotions. Even a person's emotions give other humans instincts. Sure, your happiness may bring you joy, but who's to say it brings the person next to you joy as well? He may in turn, get intimidated by you, and as a result, act on how he feels inside. This produces a chain reaction; full of mixed signals and regretful actions. I didn't know about this so-called 'chain reaction' until I analyzed the life I've been living. I took account of how my actions affected others, and it wasn't good. I shut down completely. But, like a hypocrite, I acted out of fear. Fear that if I spoke up, people would have a negative reaction, spreading hate around. See, everything you do acts on emotion. And, because we're humans, and unable to predict the future, we don't know what's to come of the simplest action. You don't know what instincts you give other people, or what emotions they release because of you. All you know is that to guarantee your happiness, you may have to put others through hell.
