Emotion and reaction.

When we engage in action, we are acting, according to our awareness of the action. How are we aware of the action? We are aware of the action perhaps, at an emotional, and an unemotional level, too. How is this so? Can it be, that the movement of the mind, is independent of the emotion? Is the awareness of the feeling of no emotion, an emotion, too? When we feel no emotion, and we are aware of it, we are aware of what emotion, is, to be aware of its absence. We are aware of the absence of emotion, even if we are not contemplating it.This can be, because, we act, in the absence of the contemplation of emotion, too. So, is the mind, an exercise, irrespective of the intellect, and the emotion? If the mind can think without feeling, then the mind can feel without thinking, too. If such be the case, then feeling and thinking are two conflicting actions of the mind. Hence, is it desirable, whether thinking dominates feeling, or whether feeling dominates thinking? Perhaps, neither should dominate the other. What happens if feeling dominates thinking? Then perhaps, thinking is bound to feeling. Similarly, if thinking dominates feeling, then feeling is bound by thinking. When feeling is bound by thinking, then, perhaps, it is more detrimental to a person, compared to when thinking is bound by feeling. Or perhaps, both are equally unacceptable, if they are. When a man feels, that he is unemotional, in a situation, or when a man feels, that he is emotional in a situation, then the man feels inadequate, perhaps. He wonders, whether, he is reacting adequately.
