Show No Emotions

Juz finished watching the movie "The Invasion" at Cathy AMK Hub earlier, and heard this phrase "Show No Emotions" from it.

Hmm... how to show no emotions when humans are filled with all sorts of it? Happy, angry, sad, shocked, etc... Although sometimes we can hide how we are feeling on the surface, but deep down, we can FEEL it. Heartbeats pumping faster, sweaty palms, throat stuck with something, butterflies in the stomach, the glitters in the eyes when you saw that SOMEONE, etc.

It's hard not to show how we feel actually. When you have a liking for that special SOMEONE, you would naturally smile when you got to see him/her, or after spending some sweet moments with him/her (even though it's just a simple chat), you lose all the mood to do something when you didn't get to talk to him/her for the day, you feel energized when you heard his/her voice again, you start to do things out of your usual way just to see him/her smile (and you feel it's worth the effort).

And when you are angry... you couldn't stand the slightest sight of that NOBODY, your natural reaction was to avoid contact and keep the distance as far as possible cos he/she reminded you of your unhappy past, you feel a pinch in one corner of your heart whenever you heard someone talked about him/her.

But sad to say, sometimes, we do have to keep the emotions to ourselves. We can't be showing our anger as and when we like it (since we're not babies or small kids anymore), we can't openly express our likings for people just by saying "I LIKE YOU" unless there's some positive signs (since it may complicate things further, which did happened before), we can't be crying in the open whenever we feel sad (since we do not want people to see us as a weakling), and there are alot of things that we HUMANS can't do or show even though the desire is so strong that it's going to burst out the next minute.

Someone told me that she had to wear a "virtual mask" to hide her sadness from her unhappy childhood, so that people would see her as a cheerful and fun-loving person, cos she does not wish to spread her sorrows to them (in fact she IS a fun-loving person). But dun ever think that she's a hypocrite by wearing a "mask"... cos EVERYONE is wearing one too, somehow or rather. That is the "mask" to control how we express ourselves in front of others, and that is the special feature of a HUMAN.

However, don't doubt my actions or feelings towards YOU... cos I always treat my friends and loved ones good, although I may not have the time to show it due to my hectic work schedule~ but if I HAVE the luxury of time, I believed you would find me worthwhile to be YOUR FRIEND or even that special SOMEONE in a corner of your heart *hehe*
