Is it possible to be an emotionless person? To not let the high’s and lows of life disturb you? To not develop emotional attachments with people, things , places etc
Just be really practical about everything, is that possible ?
Re: Emotionless
For me nopes............ many things still bother me........... but for me it is important to fight back with my emotions.........
be practical in front of people....... cry alone........... because people don't care about your problems and emotions they are just curious.........
Re: Emotionless
Only a donkey doesn't get angry/emotional, human does. Its not the problem that we are facing but our attitude towards it that is important. We get angry, hurt, sensitive, emotional. Just need the right channel to utilize it in a positive manner.

Re: Emotionless
I have a huge feeling I am turning into a person described in the original post. And I used to be the MOST sensitive person growing up..I would cry even if someone talked to me in an angry voice. Life experiences can really change a person.
Although I am very emotionally attached to people who have been in my life for long, I don't get attached to new people anymore. Or things or places. I let go of stuff that makes me angry very quickly.
As for being practical I dont know. A lot of times things are practical in my eyes but don't make sense to someone else.

woah,words of wisdom,so there's nothing one can do to change others,those emotions are the problem,those emotions make us think others are just as emotional or aren't total apathetic slimy people but alas it's best just to come to the realization that life is full of horrible people and one just needs to be strong and practical in order to survive in this cold heartless world. it's that naivity that we need to take out of us.......Nomi did these wise words really come out of your mind? i'm shocked :P :-)

i still cry when someone talks to me in an angry tone, what made you stronger, i mean which life experiences made you strongest?
Re: Emotionless
A person who can control their feeling at times of emotional highs and lows will often do better in life.

I almost died. A brand new life alhumdulillah, makes me really appreciate life and i feel like if I cry, i am being ungrateful to Allah swt. So I overlook anything and everything. What I am doing right (my work), I feel is the purpose for which Allah taala gave me a new life. I need to make sure I fulfill that purpose with all sincerity.
Plus, I worked with patients with traumatic brain injuries. You will see younger folks who come in after having a car or bike accident and are complete quadraplegics from their spinal cord injury. If I sit here and complain and feel hurt about my life, then shame on me. My problems are nothing compared to theirs and some of them have a better sense of humour than mine.
Re: Emotionless
and trust me, it took a LOT, a lot of losses and failures to gain that perspective. But now I have it, so I feel extremely fortunate and grateful. I am not here to put up with haters.
Re: Emotionless
I didn’t think people like this existed but now I know better 
Re: Emotionless
I don't think one can be emotionless. As we age, our tolerance level increases in a way. At least that is what happened with me. I used to be very sensitive. As I grow older I feel myself become less and less sensitive to so many things ...
Re: Emotionless
No not at all

Very true, life is a great gift from Allah SWT. I guess once we learn to put things into perspective and value our life we learn to control our emotions and do what's important. sometimes what you feel does not really matter when compared to what needs to be done. It's not really about being emotionless, but controlling our emotions instead of letting them control us.
Re: Emotionless
One would always be hurt by the loss of dear ones. In order to not let the highs and lows of life affect you, the best solution is to be thankful to ones creator, as we have millions of reasons to do so. Thankfulness increases daily life blessings and also those of hereafter. We need to thank Allah (swt), for the things that we still have, for the caring people that are still around us, for the friends that we still have, for the Prayers that are heard, for the prayers that are not, for the wishes which are fulfilled, for the wishes that are not. For He knows better what should be given, and what should not be. He is aware of everything, surely we are not. Some lovely things are lost, some lovely people are gone, some dreams are broken, shattered and sometimes we're left alone. All of them are countable, all of them are few. His blessings neither countable, nor are they few, so, why shouldn't we thank HIM to our level best, through our words and our actions? He is kind and merciful. Prostrate to Allah (swt), He knows you better than you.

Very true. It's all about submitting to Allahs will. To think of all the bounties Allah has bestowed upon us and be grateful. It's also about accepting this life is temporary. To Allah we belong and to him we shall return.
