To define the pure divinity that it is to be human, you need to understand that every action, motivation, reaction and decision comes down to pure emotion. Each facial movement, physical act or emotional state is ironically controlled by something we have no control over. But by gaining control, you lose the ability to separate yourself from the other procreating species and ultimately lose the pleasure of something truly unique; the pleasure of being human.

II

To truly let go of control is to grasp the very moment your engulfed in. Whether it be appropriate or otherwise. The following pages will por-tray emotions we all use in the purest state they could ever be captured. The idea is to show that its okay to feel, okay to lose control and okay to be as human as we want to be as without that freedom. We will be only ever drifted to a pure satisfactory state of being.

Happiness...When a person is happy,

your mind state is completely chaged. Socially you become

relaxed, more respondent and show a side of yourself which reflects potentially the

best that you are. Howev-er the feeling runs deeper then that. When a person

achieves happiness they can become more efficient. more proficient and ulitmately every

other emotion turns positive due to fundementally just one

chemical release.

Happiness here is achieved merely by taking part of a fun

social situation. It is in human nature to find companions,

whether romantic or not, and when we find the right indi-viduals there is a moment

when people almost click into place and unlock each oth-

ers happiness just by being in the other persons company.

Ranging from contentment to extreme joy, a person can

simply achieve happiness from a simple taste, an ide-

al relationship to achieving something beyond your own

or others expectations.

Sadness...It is our feelings that allow us to connect to humanity as a whole. Sadness is the emo-tion which brings us together and enables people to con-nect when vulnerability is on display. When you feel sad, it is important to give your self permission to feel. only then can you start to let go of your initial feelings. Whether it be the loss of a friend, fami-ly member, job, pet or other-wise you feel overwhelmed, as if your heart has sunk or a lump in your throat is holding back tears. To feel sadness is to have a soul.

A childs sadness displays the emotion at almost its fun-demetal state. A child is sad due to the fact he has lost something, confused, ambiv-ilent but most of all unable to comprehend the overwhelm-ing feelings. An individual with a better understnading of emotion would be able to identify and catergorise the symptoms however a child simply displays its effects without considering its origins. Whether they weep, scream, shout or simply mourn, when a child is sad you are shown visually, the foundation of sadness.
