Are emotions accurate indicators?

[Chikombo]

Like if I get suspicious of someone, and I call that person a racist.

Not because he was a racist but just because he said something edgy that I couldn't tolerate.

Then I assume I was wrong.

Maybe I think what people said "sounded" racist, but technincally they didn't do anything wrong.


If things escalated then I could go crazy and do something really stupid, so then the blame would fall on me.

Or I could just let it go.


Anyway.


What if my emotions in this case were actually on to something? It's hard to explain the reason I'm thinking this, the thought of every edgy person being secretly a potential nazi is frightening.

But I wonder if sometimes indicators are really true, like, if I have an opinion let's say, Ii like Itachi, the character.

I could still say that I don't stand for what he might represent storywise. I don't want to commit a mass murder against as a minority.

But what if my liking to Itachi hides a truth that I can't even accept or know myself, what if this opinion makes me more enabled to have those extreme opinions, but secretly?


What if I'm a potential bad person, even though I would swear I'm not.

I read that body language reveals emotions and is a more reliable indicator.

No, some people just get heated over anything. Some don't.

People have different thresholds for emotion, but I don't think that makes how they're feeling any less validated.
