Ron_Hudson on Twitter posed the question.

What’s life about for you, ultimately?

Knee-jerk reaction would be to answer with fun, family and happiness.

But then I think about it. Is life really always fun? Are all of the moments in your life that stick out in your memory fun? I don’t know about you, my friend, but for me the answer is an adamant no. Same applies for the other two answers.

So, as cliché as this may sound, I think it’s love. Don’t misunderstand me, don’t write me off just yet as an individual with no thoughts of her own. I’m not referring simply to the sappy, over-commercialized romance kind of love we all do seek, but I’m talking about the love you have for family, pets, friends (cyber or IRL), your house, songs, books, movies, anything.

I guess if I had to use one word to describe life, my one word would be this: emotion.

Emotion encompasses everything we do. Emotion is what drives us, what makes our choices. I don’t care how much you think you make choices logically, somewhere emotion affects it. No one has led their entire life by logic alone. It’s impossible. It’s improbable.

And furthermore, who would want to? Logic may lead you to pick out a book, but emotion decides whether you like it or not. Logic may decide what medical procedure you choose, but emotion rules your body. It’s scientifically proven that emotions have a physical effect on our body. People who lead stressful lives need about twice as long for a cut to heal on their body as someone who leads a relatively calm life. Don’t believe me – go look it up – that’s why we have google. And if you DO have an urge to look it up – guess what? That’s emotion guiding you. Curiosity. One of my favorites. LOL

Some of the most prominent memories in a person’s head are all emotional – A loved ones death, a graduation, a birth, a first kiss, a pet, an accomplishment, a fave book or movie, an long lost friend.

They are all about love. Emotion…
