Why do we write? The Power of Words and Emotions

Why do we write? 

Why do we feel the need to subject ourselves to the judgment of a bored reader who on the other side of the World, lying on his sofa, exhausted by a useless search on Netflix for a film he hasn’t seen, will find us and judge us using a diabolical algorithm with the same approximation with which he chooses his next good resolution which he will not keep.
So why do we write? Why do we play? Why are we going to an art exhibition? Perhaps because we hope that among a multitude of bored, distracted people, too busy following clichés that society imposes, at least one and I mean only one person will stop to read one of our articles, listen to one of our songs and feel the same emotion in observing a paint. Perhaps because in a society that increasingly wants us to be alone we want to connect, but with a connection that does not travel on the digital fiber but on personal emotions.

According to Dr. Candace Pert, emotions are not just chemical substances in the brain; they are electrochemical signals that carry emotional messages throughout our entire body. These signals, composed of a mixture of peptides, have profound effects on our well-being.

“When our feelings change, this mix of peptides travels throughout the body and the brain. They literally change the chemistry of every cell in your body – and transmit vibrations to other people,” explains Dr. Pert.

As Dr. Pert elucidated in her book, “Molecules of Emotion,” neurotransmitters known as peptides carry emotional messages. We are not mere flesh and bone; we vibrate like a tuning fork, sending out vibrations to others. We transmit and receive. Thus, emotions orchestrate interactions between all our organs and systems to control them.

Yes, this is still a research and it has to be verified by the scientific community before we can say is “science“, however, we must ponder: How often have we experienced an instant connection with someone in our personal lives? How many times have we sensed negativity in a situation, referring to it as ‘negative vibes’? How frequently have we witnessed children or pets being influenced by our moods, possibly because they are more sensitive and attuned to emotions than we, who have lost the ability to listen and feel?

So, why do we write? We write because our bodies are instruments capable of producing exquisite melodies when brought close together. We refuse to accept a world that wants to keep us isolated and silent. We reject a society that lulls us into a streaming slumber, manipulating our vibrations within the digital realm. We write because we know that out there in the world, there are people like us who long to play their bodies and dance to the rhythm of their ideas alongside a multitude of living beings vibrating to the same tribal beat.
