Chemoluminescent, translucent plastic tubes, they may appear to simply emit light, but this is an illusion. To describe them as such would be a disgusting cheapening of their immense power and value. Their perplexing radiance fills their viewers with hope, happiness and deep thought about the true meaning of life. Their bright and cheerful nature melts the heart of even the most stubborn and conservative of men, and in gazing at their brilliant beauty, we are transported back to a place in our hearts which many of us thought had ceased to exist, a place we thought had gradually departed us as we made the transition from childhood to adulthood. Perhaps our innocence was not totally lost after all. Perhaps it is just that we refuse to embrace it.

Glowsticks

that's the absolute biggest crock of shite i've ever read in my entire life.
What your describing does not sound like glowsticks at all. It sounds like glowsticks as seen by a person who is high on something.
If you were to write this article after being dumped by your glowstick wearing partner this article would have turned out very differently.
The point I'm getting at is that emotions are great and all, but they have a tendency to spill over and affect our behaviour in unrelated situations. This is irrational. Think the person under stress who is finding people more irritating than usual, or the newlyweds who think they'll manage a €1,500 a month mortgage just fine (and in the process fucking up their whole lives).
In order to achieve true objective rationality you must learn to seperate yourself from your emotions. Not all the time mind you, just when philosophising or making very important decisions.
Maybe you're one of these "arty" people who thinks subjectivity is great because your thoughts are more unique to you and less transferable to other people. Imo this makes them inferior.
Conan described your post as a crock of shite.......and he's not entirely wrong you know. Philosophing with emotions is pointless. You'll never come to any concrete conclusions.
