Emotional Flurry (Shaken, Not Stirred)

What does it mean to feel? is it a blessing? is it a curse? feel too much? feel too little? emotion given deserves emotion returned, but what do you feel when life throws a lesson that makes you believe that special emotions get in the way, do you shut down and dare never to take a chance again...? Or do you fade into the background until opportunity shines its light on a heart consumed by pain and darkness...does such a human being exist....
