Mixed Emotions...

A study in Washington suggests people who experience mixed emotions (the feeling of positive and negative emotions) are more creative people.. and the psychologists go on to explain that such people interpret the experience as a signal that they are in an unusual environment and respond to it by creative thinking.

Another study says that people remember occasions with mixed emotions are not remembered as well as those where the felt singally happy or sad.. obvious isn't it.. because we tend to rely less on the episodic memory of emotional experience. We are uncomfortable with mixed emotions. We want to resolve the conflicts. Thereby we fade the emotional intensity.

and there is my theory.. that mixed emotions are a result of "lack of emotional persistence". We react differently to the same situation at different times. We react differently to different situations at the same time..

there is really nothing deep to be lost in thought. there is no strange philosophy. the nuance of emotion is that "you can like and hate a person at the same time"

just be sure of how you handle your mixed emotions.. let it not make a mix of anything else..
