I lost the positive emotions when I was 17. I missed the emotions, but it wasn't the end of life. I learned to live by my intellect alone.
I got a puppy from a friend. I would later discover he was blind at birth due to detached retinas. I had him for 18+ years We took good care
of each other. I think I recovered some emotional functions in time. Scientists say that if you have a soul, it resides in your temporal lobe, which
is the seat of your emotions. I have had EEGs that show my temporal lobe has significant pathology.
