I feel that too much in our lives we live in fear of emotion. A sometimes lifting, but often crippling device that can change our perspective of the world we live in or bring it to a dull sorrowful blur. For these very uncontrollable symptoms, we avoid the irrationality in order to keep composure and appearance. But what is it to deny the ability to recognize that which strikes up the emotion? Realizing what is the main items that create drive, inspiration, desperation, in order to maintain a mediocrity of the understandable grey.

What I refer to as the grey is the common area that is massively understood and replicated. A safe comfortable zone in which the majority of people fall within; not wanting to find themselves in a possible area of being ostracized / alone. That desire to be connected, understood, and liked is a state of mediocrity. Too many checks and balances to ensure that you do not find yourself alone. However, this is normal. We are human, and rely on a pack. We look to others for help and protection, though in a general world (that which the majority of us live in) that pack is one that is mediocrity relinquishing emotion

I want to be angry. I want to be satisfied. I want to be depressed. I want emotion. It pushes me out of that grey realm. I need sadness, I need frustration, I need anxiety. All these emotions push me to further myself and my actions. Mediocrity is unacceptable. The grey is not for dwelling, in mind or action.

Why settle? Why not take it one direction or the other? Put your foot in your mouth and kick. Is there really that much to lose? You probably already have too much. I'll dump it on you and be free of the burden, and go about my merry prankster way.

In reality, we are stuck in this grey. I, and probably you, deal with it everyday in our personal and professional lives. Not wanting to upset someone, or create a something from nothing. Not wanting to put yourself out there with honest criticism, since it is that much easier to just sit back and give people what they want to hear. Validity is tarnished through the layers of appropriate-ness that goes through interactions.

Through design, the mediocre is common. Nothing new, nothing interesting. Re-inventing the wheel thousands of times over. Constraints that keep the projects from getting where they out to be. Forget those restraints and wait till you feel the emotion, then you will know that it is where it should be. The moment you get excited since it is getting to a spot you know is good.

Savour the emotion. Don't suppress it. Good or bad are relative concepts that hold no true meaning, and without the both, neither could exist.

I am, too, that rooster called 'Pingüino'.
