Before we move on,
So let us presume for the moment that it is as such; that we have two minds; the Amygdala and the Neocortex.
Then, let us imply two conjectures; one being the Amygdala as our unconscious and the Neocortex as its inverse counterpart.
Now,
Even from birth, a person’s Amygdala is being consistently hotwired and it’s ‘content’ ever changing through the inducement of his or her personal experiences that is in return ‘rubber stamped’ with emotional flavors. A simple example would be the simple meeting of a new person. At the first instance of meet, the Amygdala immediately stamps it with whatever emotional value that encounter induced; be it hate, disgust, attraction or such. But such stampings are engraved deep hence it being hard to remove after initial markings. .
As such, it may imply the possibility that such values are not updated to 'current trend' and hence sometimes we could be dealing with a person or situation with old emotional attachments even though the elements may have changed. (And why having a first good impression counts)
Yet, the creepy thing is that we could never know how and what are the so called contents in our emotional brain. It’s like a disclosed bank that consistently yet varyingly gives out a wide spectrum of emotional currency which then is up to our thinking mind to manipulate and do with. The emotional mind in itself is like a wild beast with the only leash and authority being our conscious interruptions to its whims and whines.
To this point, just an opinion not fact; in us resides a vicious cunning beast. That beast is no different from one that lives in a murderer for even us, given the right encouragement and inducements, are all capable of killing another human being. Hence, morality, ethics and such products of relative normal mental health constitutes from how sturdy is our mental leash. No?
