A Source of Emotion. (A true tale.) A father was informed that his son's car had struck a deer. The father then drove to the son's side to give aid and comfort. The car was damaged, but drivable. The son was emotional and even in tears. Upon calming down, father and son, then returned home. With analysis, an interesting and in depth enquiry might now be asked. Were the understandable flow of tears a result of Self emotion? Compassion for a killed deer? Or both of these sources of emotion, resulting in those tears? Frank Maurer 4 March 2025 1135 Hours.
