Jon threw himself from the car into the study of his apartment despite the long ride.
He had an idea. A very ambitious idea with the potential of bringing the world to a state of utopia.
Thanks to the research he found on that forum, Jon realized how he could create a device that would transfer the emotions from one human to another. Imagine the consequences! He would use the binary-cognitive translations to electronically introduce emotions to a human brain.

What if humans are sad? Wouldn’t our sadness overwhelm us if we all came together?
Doubts began to infiltrate his mind. The moral implications surely didn’t make it any easier...
