And what is the role of emotions in this digital interweaved virtual reality we live in?
Times are changing so fast that we almost don't have the time to accommodate change . Most of us manage to adapt but mainly in a minimal functional level.
All information flows globally in a high level increasing speed rate, but between the huge amount, the piles and piles of terabytes massively spread, targeting all our perceptual senses, we have to be deeply conscious that most of it is mainly trash or noise in a informational sense... And there is a strong probability of becoming blind, deaf and mute, regarding the capacity to absorb, extract and share true meaning, all that correlating to a strategic excess of information, in consequence of our incapacity to filter adequately from all we are bombed with..
But, in everyone of us there is a lifeguard safety belt, that we may use if we remain conscious of the processes affecting our "models" of the world - That is our emotional system, witch, luckily works mainly based in analogical and slower processes, balanced by our inner hormonal processes.
Emotions are sometimes tricky and explosive, but when they are adequately driven, they manage to do the difference and even act as some very effective informational filters. They really color our world apprehension and shape the meanings we are able to extract.
If we get ourselves trapped in the treads of our most basic primary and simple emotions, we get a world picture and its related interpretations that will be mainly primary, simple, brutal, childish, egotistic and so simply and easily manipulated...
On the other hand, if we manage to drive our mind and heart set by some upper, secondary and more sophisticated, complex, even, if I may say, ethological and universe driven emotions, we can clearly get a different picture and understand, sense and act under a much broader view of the world. In that situation, plain simple manipulation will be much more difficult or easier to unveil...
Them, we may be prepared to filter and choose our ways, not only of understanding but also in co-constructing different new ways of being, relating, working, sharing and creating a world driven by totally different and mainly ethical values...
The choice is still in our hands and happiness should be always embedded in the new roads we will choose to build and travel
