As you all know we've killed Osama Bin Laden this week. There was a whole hullabaloo and all about it, and a whole bunch of news. There were also a whole lot of people celebrating in the streets. Now this raises a question for me, when is it okay for people to be happy? Is it not okay to be happy over someone's death, even someone as profoundly evil as Osama Bin Laden?
In the book I'm reading, Dracula, people are happy at odd times. Like Dr Seward is happy when he finds that Lucy is a vampire and still "alive" in a sense. It makes you think about how random our emotions are, and makes me think, to what extent are we supposed to control our emotions? Should we try to actively change them, or just work to suppress them?
