Anthropomorphic Robots


Humans always wanted assistants & maybe that's the origin of servants or even slaves. Over time technology evolved & that gave us the opportunity to create artificial humans: machines called robots designed & programmed to do certain tasks. These robots have the ability to execute tasks more efficiently than humans.

Humans have also a "do tasks" section in their programming code. But humans have also a "feelings" section in their programming code that robots do not have. For some people "feelings" seem to be a "bug" in there programming code since feelings are always affecting their performance on doing tasks in one way or another; for some other that part of the code is perceived to be a blessing since the "feelings" section of the code  can enhance their creativity & do the certain tasks in slightly different way of what the "do tasks" section impose them to do.

Without the "feelings" section of the programming code
*  Feelings of course would never had existed
*  & tears would not had been let to leave the corner of our eyes
*  & smiles would not had let our mouth & cheeks to be stretched
*  & heartbeats would had been limited to certain scales when doing
    certain things
*  & opinions would had also being expressed in standard ways
    or expressions
*  & creativity would had been limited in zero levels
*  & life just wouldn't have been the same...

But "guess what? we are not robots". Whoever programmed us put "feelings", mistakenly or not, to be part of the code. & that made the whole things non standard, diverse, much more interesting, unexpected & live full! & even if sometimes those feelings hurt us especially when tasks seem to be impossible to be done, some other times the pleasure & happiness that those feelings give us cancel the not so good moments out...

I am always driven by my feelings, in everything I do, that can sometimes be a bad thing but most of the time it's the best way for me to navigate through life. Lucky us to have the feelings I say, it's what makes this life worth living :)

I love it! Without emotions and opinions, we would be like René Magritte "The Son of Man"
No individuality and reason of existing.
Keep on writing. :)

That's an interesting point of view. I've always been a "feeler" more than a "thinker" myself.

I am Fickle Cattle.
