Who cares about feelings?

Feelings. They're almost always begging to be spared a thought, isn't it?

"Have you ever spared a thought for my feelings?"

Do you find the above phrase familiar? Sure does ring a bell, doesn't it? Maybe someone said it to you when you unknowingly misplaced his or her trust, or whatsoever.

Feelings are troublesome things. People are often in dilemmas because they want to do what they want to do, but do not dare to proceed. The obstacle? Someone else's feelings.

Why do feelings play such a big part in our lives?

If there were no feelings on this earth, there would be no pity, no compassion too. No volunteers for the victims of the tsunami. No more charity shows for the disabled. Nobody to help those beggars on the streets. The world would be a cold and unfeeling place devoid of sympathy and the like.

Imagine this. You fall down and everyone jeers at you. Clutching your belongings, you run to a corner to recover. You don't feel anything ; you don't even feel like crying because there ARE no feelings, remember?

So, can we do without feelings, or is it essential for our survival?
