Feelings chunk

For our final unit we did a feelings unit. Liang had mentioned that as humans we are not in touch with our feelings. He talked about humans only being in touch with the main feelings such as sex, having to use the bathroom, annd other more obvious feelings. When i listened to this i agreed. I thought that we do pay attention most to these things but we also pay attention To other feelings too. I just think that those emotions arent shared out loud as much. There are many feelings that i have i just dont share them openly so to other people they are non existant. I can see what he means because a lot we dont pay attention to theire feelings, or shield them to show no weakness.

One actiivity that i remember the most was when we were watching the care bears movie. This care bears was just plain weird. There were about 5 bears all named after a feeling. There was a happy bear, sleepy bear, lauphing bear, and a few others. They are against a mean blue ice man. The movie was just odd to watch because its a kids movie. Feeling were obviously expressed very big to the viewer. I found it interesting how the feelings being expressed were the obvious feeling that everyone has, and in that its easy to connect to, especially to young children.

In the end i came to the conclusion that it may help to pay attention to your feelings, because it increases your self awareness. Even though i still dont beleive that as humans us paying attention to our main feelings( haveing to use the bathroom, ETC) is a bad thing. I think that we do know our feelings, we just dont allways need to feel them. If we were to feel every little feeling in our body, theres just too many to give one only one attention.
