Uncomfortably numb

According to God in Neale Donald Walsch's book, there are only two real emotions - fear and love. And everything else flows from these emotions. Though I generally think both Walsch and God are a bit of a scam, there is something to that. Often we struggle to identify what exactly we feel, it helps to simplify emotions into these two categories and by answering how much of what you feel comes from love and fear, we can make things a little easier for us.

But when someone so obsessively analytical as me is scared to analyse what he feels, what does it mean? The memory and conception of certain things in life is much too pure and precious to be put under a microscope. Or maybe the case is that fear is after all a greater motivator than love. But, for now, I'd still like to believe in the former of the two.

It is good not to obsess in some situations. For whichever of the two reasons.
