The Complexity Of A Sigh.

"Sigh." There are so many things the word can mean. A sigh of relief, a sigh of anguish or frustration. A sigh is a form of expression that can be defined by the peace or opposite thereof being displayed on one's face. The fact that it can mean so many things and fit perfectly into so many situations awards it the adjective of what might be called complex. It really does exhert the emotion of its creator. Whether it's created softly and slowly as one lies down for rest, or if it's released from the body in a puff as one stomps his foot in frustration, it serves the purpose of relinquishing emotion in a bodily function that stands apart from crying or simply changing the form of one's facial expression. It serves an almost fulfilling experience as it's breathed into existence, but seems mostly pointless since, unless you're in the midst of performing CPR, it can help no physical situation. But still, we all do it. I do it. I sigh when I think...I feel as though it allows me to get closer to losing myself in the wonder that sometimes plagues my mind. It really doesn't. All it is is a short, accelerated or abbreviated form of breathing. It serves no purpose and yet serves so many. Writing about it is making me love it...weird. I love expressing myself through sighs...though they're probably not the best things to use in frustration or anger towards other people...then it is only aiding a bad attitude. That isn't fun for anyone... not even the breather of the sigh.

It is an interesting process, determining the definition behind someone's sigh. Sometimes it's obvious, and one can just assume if the breather is happy, peaceful, depressed, or angry. But many times, determining the truth about it requires the study of the breathers facial expressions. Even then it can be difficult to discern if the one expressing it is breathing a sigh of discontent, longing, satisfaction, or any one of the previously stated emotions. Regardless of what it expresses, I am thankful for the ability to sigh. It is pointless, unnecessary, and it serves my emotions so well. Where would I be without the complex thing? *sigh* :)
