Mixed emotions

Nobody can't help having amotions, they are part of everyone's life. We feel different things and express emotions all day long as different things happen to us. What I think about mixed emotions is that you feel a bunch of feelings at once and it gets very confusing. That is you feel delighted about smth and horrified about smth. else. You don't know how to define your current mood. e.g. situation in which someone can feel several emotions is puplic performance, especially the first one. Of course, it was the kindergarden or school, where most of people performed in public for the first time. My first performance was in the kindergarden. I played some instrument, I don't remember, smth like xylophone. At first I was frightened, but ready for performance. When I began to play I felt light excitement. but I liked it. It was joy for me ,because my parents were proud of me. Various situations make us feel differently and express different emotions and I think that mostly we feel happy, we laugh more than cry. They say that "laughter is the best medicine" and for me the saying is the truth. I have a lot of freinds and I can't live without them. We laugh at funny scene from a sitcom about the weekend, or make light of everything. What about my familly, my parents talk about crazy stuff anecdotes we did as kids and how simple life used to be... It was really funny childhood. However, human existence sometimes wants not only to laugh, but cry, to be in floods of tears, because of sad film or story or even without any reason. Recently I had this very mood and I've read one story about old man, that makes me think about my relationship with my parents and change my attitudes towards them. When this old man got alone and helpless, when he couldn't care for himself, he became to live with his son's family. His arms was shaking, the eye was weak. Because of it he used to spil drinking, eat very loud and so on. The son and his wife were angry. That's why the old man had to eat apart from the rest, that is alone. After he had broken some plates, the old man was given a wood one. At that point four-year-old boy was watching this situation without saying anything. In the end father noticed his little son playing with some piece of wood and asked, what he was doing. The boy answered that he was doing a bowl to his parents to eat, when the boy was grown up.So, it's a sad but sapiential story. In conclusion, I'd like to say that our life without feelings and emotions would be very sad and not interesting. With emotions we can express our attitude to everything.
