A Bit of Confirmation

There is an important detail that I left out about Antonio Demazzio in my post titled Fun Nights and Realistic Choices. If you can recall, Antonio Demazzio has a very distinct disconnect in his brain that disallows the ability to feel emotion. The important thing that I forgot to mention about Antonio is that he is chronically indecisive. He cannot make decisions about the littlest things, and he would spend hours and hours debating decisions in his mind.

This person's story means a lot to me. It validates to me the value and importance of our emotions; it helps me come to terms with the times in my life that I have made decisions seemingly irrational that were based on emotion. The importance here is that I was capable of making a decision, even when the options seemed to make little sense. Knowing that a person who uses logic and rationality alone to make decisions ends up lost in an in-between gives me some peace of mind. My emotions aren't -wrong- as I sometimes think them to be. I'm on the path I want to be, I am working towards learning and growing into something that I am not certain is "good" (but something that I hope is), and I think this story helped me define that uncertainty.
