"how do you feel?"
Jan. 13th, 2025 07:29 amWay back MANY years ago, when this question popped up in Spock's Vulcan learning thing in the classic film 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,' I thought it was funny. (I've recently realized that I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what was happening in the beginning of that movie, but that's a different story entirely.) I'm pretty sure it was even supposed to be funny! As a child, I was Quite Confident that 'how do you feel' was surely the easiest of the questions he was trying to answer.
JOKE'S ON ME. Fast forward to the venerable time 'December 2024,' and I was watching a webinar about stress, and the presenter was all, 'it can be valuable to go beyond 'good' and 'bad' in terms of what you're feeling, so here's a list of a bunch of different emotions; how do you feel right now?'
I wasn't sure! What a hard question, I thought to myself! And I also still can't answer any of those hard math questions, or calculate a trajectory to slingshot around the sun to travel back in time!
Anyway, since it seems like it's still a question worth answering, it's now part of my list of 'things to do' that the random picker can pick from every time I click it. Just now I decided I feel apprehensive! HECK YEAH EMOTIONAL AWARENESS! LET'S DO THIS!
