I disagree, a slight thing but worthwhile disagree, I think useful to remaining an integrated and active human: the premise that there is a "should not" about being stunned presumes feeling surprise is somehow bad, a "should not." It's okay to be stunned.
Feelings can be inconvenient and wrong / only part of the picture. And you I assume want a deterministic life. SO, learn to cope with feelings.
Generally, accept feelings and reactions as a part of existence. Otherwise you (human) will start to ignore your feelings and get neurotic.
- bdcravens 4y ago"should not" doesn't always mean judgement; it speaks of probability: "A cat should not have five legs". Or to speak to human emotions: "Your partner cheated on 5 out of their last 10 partners. You should not be stunned that they cheated on you". Also, in your poetic musings on the human condition and the validity of emotions, I think you're confusing being upset with being stunned. We can be upset at something, even if we shouldn't be surprised it happened.
