i think many emotions are biological human reactions, but once spirit enters the equations things change a bit and get fuzzy from my experience...i think its hard to separate the two...lets see....do other animals have depression, anger, or bad hair days? i really dont think they do except for maybe the highly intelligent ones that have been grossly mistreated. its dont think a bull is angry when it attacks a matador, but simply protecting itself.
a friend of mine had his house robbed when his wife and young baby were home. he also had two dobermans lying around the house who did nothing. he bought an attack trained doberman and, before he had even taken it home, brought it over to my house to show off this massive pile of teeth. he asked me to pick up a piece of firewood and pretend to attack him. i demurred but he assured me that it would be ok. he had the dog on a lunge rope. i swung the log and he said 'watch'...the dog was instant teeth and foam, its incisors inches from my neck. right after he did that, the dog walked up to me with tail wagging and we became friends...the thing wasnt mad at me at all, just doing his job, but i was scared to even talk after that in case i inadvertantly said the attack word! i think our emotions are sorta tied to our imagination, and later to our spirit...so i dont know how to answer your question!...its sorta a soupy topic, with lots of ingredients and sometimes hard to distinguish one from another...so ill plead the 5th ;-^) On May 20, 8:12 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > Ahhhh now that is a seperate thing entirly. > > No the clue as to what the spirt is, is in the word.
