Physics for the Soul




Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transferred from one state to another. I wonder if the person who made this statement was a philosopher. This statement can be correctly substituted in many situations.Scenario 1: If our emotions are a state, the energy within us (no, no not the spiritual one, the actual physical one you dolts) is constantly tranferred from one emotion to another, elated one moment, sulking the next, soft and mushy now, angry and vindictive the tomorrow and so on. Yes even sulking requires energy, with the brain furiously thinking dark thoughts about whatever or whoever.
Alternately consider our feelings themselves as energy. They are converted from one state to the next. Joy, anger(my favorite), hatred(another one of my favs), love(yuck!!!) even apathy and indifference. You might want to argue that indifference is neutral ground when we are between emotions but thats not how it is. Indifference is not a neutral state but a group of neutral emotions. In difference is actually a group of emotions and can leave you drained after a while. Because it is hard to remain neutral in any situation for a long time. Constant change in energy can cause damage to its surroundings and constant emotional turmoil can damage us.
