Emotions are just another drug

Emotions are just another drug.
Maybe I just need a hug.
Or maybe I am right.
We can manufacture emotions.
We have our devices. We have our motives.
We always know how to get what we want.
On some level.

But maybe emotions are just another false expression of truth.
Maybe emotions are just another illusion.
Emotions come from the brain not from the heart.
And the mind plays tricks. The mind deceives.
Better to not feel at all.
Better to let nothing get in.
Better to be detached.

They say love is the highest emotion.
Maybe that's up for debate too?
Love is like heroin. Love is uncontrollable.
Maybe it's best not to love.
Since emotions are just a construct of the brain.
And have no empirical value.
Yep love is an illusion too.
