Hitogata
"'Hitogata'... a word that has been used in this world for years and years, the origin long lost in the mists of time. Hitogata can mean several things. For instance, it can simply be a doll in the form of a human, or an ornament or decoration that is missing a piece of itself. ...But it is especially used in secret to disdain a child that is entirely MISSING one of the core human emotions: joy, anger, pathos, humour." [extract from Kimi no Kakera]Pathos. i wonder what it will be like, if one is unable to feel pain. would it make one immune to hurt? and also remove the capacity for fear?
fear is like this totally irrational emotion; extreme fear freezes up the mental and physical processes, and increases one's chances of screwing up. fear, too, prevents one from trying the less-trodden paths, and closes the doors to various opportunities forgone. its stupid. and it is the simplest solution to preventing one from getting hurt, the fear of getting hurt often stops one from doing things that would increase the risk of hurt. the irony is, most of the time, the greatest amount of regret and pain is dished out by this stupid reaction.
bleah.
