TEMPORARY

Wisdom and Understanding. Both great qualities that would make an exceptional human. However  as cheesy as it sounds, I believe we are all exceptional. Even the murders, psychopaths, terrorist, criminals, the Pope, our neighbors, mom, dad and siblings. What we all have in common is our willingness to be happy and experience love. Happiness to me is a temporary emotion, similar to anger, regret, pain, and especially love. These temporary emotions spiral in our brains everyday. The difference between qualities and temporary emotions are that we can develop and learn from qualities through time. Although emotions may seem like momentary lapses, we need them to develop wisdom. A human cannot be happy nor angry every second of everyday, nor can they feel love all the time. Therefore we all have a taste of those temporary emotions in special occasions, and believe it or not but it is those occasions which enhance our ability to understand each other. As an realist I see the world not negatively (how most people like to put it), but for what it really is. Temporary. So my question is, does our universal desire for temporary emotions define us or make us one?
