I always thought that it was your ability to experience emotions that make you human. Yes, emotions are a sign of weakness, but they're also a sign that you can FEEL, that you can let go and lose control at times. They can be exhilarating and fun at times, depressing and unwanted at others. Yet, they're always there; I believe that emotions make you feel alive.
However, someone recently pointed out to me that it isn't emotion that makes you human; it's your ability to think and reason and rationalize that makes you human. Emotions, they hinder with these processes, and consequently, make you less human.
Two opposing opinions, yet both make equal sense to me.

The thing that's best if you're feeling glum, is some coconut water and a little rum.
