We all deal with loss and gain in certain ways. I think we take for granted the people who can learn to balance their emotional response to help others who cannot. In my book, there is a lot of emotional strain involved, pushing people to limits that average folks may not experience. I TRY (within obvious points fail) to keep experiences into something I can relate to in my books so I may better write certain points.
A chapter I'm working on now involves a person who can balance loss and gain, a person who can stand as a rock when the winds and tides push against everyone. I wont reveal names, mostly in the hopes that if I get published I can look back here and given deeper analysis of certain characters. Its challenging because there are times that I don't balance things like loss and gain well. I can find my self overly emotional or bluntly not. It isn't that I don't have emotion or nothing but for these circumstances, it's that I'm human and feel more or less for certain things.
With this man, I also have to give other sides, people who are grieving and those who feel empty and indifferent. I find human nature to be tricky when giving a range of emotions because its plain to see that a play on words such as "human nature" is very deceiving. We treat nature as a constant from one thing to the next, when the only thing i can find within nature is that there are seldom constants.
Those are my thoughts for now.
