Today in class while discussing the concept of the connection between Knowledge, Imagination, and Creativity, the idea of Emotion was brought up. Emotion was said to be the single factor that pulls all of what was mentioned with regards to Knowledge, Imagination, and Creativity together. That made me think a little more about the power of emotion in things. Emotion or emotions are the driving or pushing force behind every single thing that we do in life. Emotions, when in the right state of mind can cause one to finish a task at hand when it seems that it will never get done. For example, once while I was completing an assignment for my Historiography class I became very tired and lazy and did not want to complete the assignment. I figured, well I've never skipped this class before, why don't I just go to bed considering that it is 4:00 in the morning and do it some other time. Realizing that was a stupid reason to skip the class my emotions pushed through and I finished the assignment.
Now a question I pose, can emotions be the driving factor in everything in life, from art to leisure activities?
