As we are spoiling our life?
We fear our emotions. It seems to us that they will only make worse, ruin our lives, destroy the fragile balance.
What is so terrible to feel sadness, anger, resentment or disappointment?
Emotions do not arise just like that, they are always associated with certain events or conclusions. This is their first important property. The second property is that they are fleeting.
No sorrow will last forever.
What does our envy or resentment say about us?
Why are we angry at some things, and for some events of our life remain indifferent? Why do we consider something “good” and attribute something to the “bad” category?
The answer lies in our personal life story.
Emotions determine our condition.
If you regularly ignore unpleasant emotions (which serve as a signal of what is important to us in reality, or of what happens to us ourselves), then they will not disappear.
You just put them “on the waiting list”.
Gradually, emotional debts accumulate, so that in the end a person begins a long depression. Or you can always become a neurotic fugitive, who refuse to accept themselves and live their own lives. Narcissus man, alcoholic man, workaholic man.
Why am I all this? Feeling different emotions is normal. We will not collapse from this.
We can withstand whole storms of passions. We can experience quiet days. Everything is so inconsistent.
Trying to control the senses is an attempt to control the seasons and the weather.
We are incommensurably greater than any of our fears. Because we are able to worry in one minute and laugh at a friend’s joke at another, get angry at a broken shoe lace, but enjoy a pleasant walk.
