You cannot feel nothing when dealing with such a...delicate situation. Only some sort of psychopaths have that. But you have to dismiss them. And yes, I had fucked up situations in my life when it was essential to put emotions aside and do the right thing. Also, what's important: you cannot let them get to you afterwards. Or you shall suffer from it, really.

I'm still curious as to what it'd be like to not feel any emotion whatsoever. I feel like it's such a vital park of living.

You mean like a cyborg? Reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v... I dunno, as a human I think we would be bored without emotions. They are such a big part of our lives after all.

But I feel like that guy felt emotion too.

    I would like to express gratitude...
I feel to be grateful requires some sort of emotion.
