Humans Are Creatures of Emotion. So

Humans are creatures of emotion. So

.."so" — what "so," really;
I just mean: that's how it is.


The problem doesn't come from understanding the fact as it is, but from extremely emotionally — denying emotion itself, and trying to coerce one's own or others' actions and minds into being even more rational.

In communication between people, the assessment that someone "is being emotional" is often used to mean that the other party is not yet mature.

I think the "common sense" of a neoliberal society — one that is uninterested in the how (emotion) or the why (its cause) and that values the what (the result) — has been constructed this way.
*For reference, "being commonsensical" is an extremely group-subjective fact, varying by era, country, and organization.*

In the current era, the so-called efficient human takes objective, quantitative, machine-like — semiconductor-structure-between-0-and-1 — modes of communication, like AI's, as the indicator of maturity. The exemplary communication of such an era is the way of saying everything you have to say, while smiling.

The reason communication came about, and the emotion that this reason provides to the parties communicating, are excluded as much as possible, and the exchange proceeds as smoothly and transparently as possible. *Byung-Chul Han


Many people, in many organizations, work like martyrs. They work with emotions removed. Whatever they feel inwardly, on the outside they strip out emotion and do exactly the work assigned — no more, no less, blandly(?). Like a civil servant.
Of course, the object of martyrdom is not so much the organization as the salary. The salary is basically the means for livelihood, plus honor or social standing.
The problem is that, as with every religion, there is always a cult-like fringe in between. Martyrs of cults affect not only themselves but also the people around them.

How can the spirituality of someone whose religious life is moved by gratitude and a brimming heart be the same as that of someone who lives religiously, reluctantly, in the mindset of a martyr, for the sake of some other end?

If a negative emotion arises because something is unjust or wrong, they recognize it immediately. Then they restrain and endure it. For someone, it's about protecting the family; for someone, it's a worthy show of strength so as not to worry the people around them; for someone, it's a self-censorship of the self.
In organizations like these, efficiency tends to be highly prized. The object of "efficiency" includes the scope of each person's tasks as well as R&D.
Anyone whose passion is overflowing(?) and inefficient, or whose performance falls below average, ends up provoking burdensome emotions in some of the average(?) people around them. And to those mature(?) average people around, emotion is something to be removed — like fatigue or stress. Through very mature, subtle ways, they sort and treat such people as misfits or outsiders.
Eventually, only the martyrs(?) remain in the organization. It is filled with people who, through their salary, are devoted to their families, and who endure for the sake of preserving their careers.
