Raise above your emotions - 1

EMOTIONS ! We all have it within us. And believe me or not, these "emotions" control most of our daily activities. Whatever actions we perform, are influenced greatly by the emotions within us. We develop these emotions over a period of time. The emotions perceived by an individual are different for different individuals. Rarely, we find any common emotions attached with two different persons. This is due to the individual differences. The different experiences by each individual are responsible for the difference in emotional levels. Consider an example of watching a movie. We all have our own choices when watching a movie (like action, adventure, romantic, comedy, drama etc). We tend to get attached to different genres depending on our emotions. A particular movie or a particular scene in a movie, may have pleasant or averse effects depending on the emotions present within us related to that particular scene or movie. We develop the emotions right from our childhood where we learn about things, develop ideas, thoughts etc. Such ideas and thoughts become instilled in our sub-conscious mind over a period of time due to repetitive exposure of such thoughts and beliefs.



Now if something happens which contradicts our thoughts, ideas and beliefs; then we tend to get sad and maybe even cry to show a sign of displeasure. Or vice-versa, if something turns out to be in exact fashion of our thoughts and which fulfills our expectations, then we tend to become happy. We should try that emotions should not rule our decisions in life. Many a times, emotions stand in the way of our success. Therefore, decisions need to be taken based on pure logic and benefit of all. However, in this materialistic world, humans tend to get attached with emotions, and there is no escape for a normal human to escape the clutches of emotions. However, we can certainly try to control them and raise above our emotional level.

  1. How people display emotion depends on the personality character of the people.To be a living creature.. emotion is one of the most important ingredients.Proportionate blend of emotion and reasoning predicts a stable life.Sometimes emotional outburst is also important for the normal survival of the individuals as for example ''anger'' .. to release the negative energy although not every time.Many people have a wrong concept that being emotional is a weak point for a person which is not actually true.Rather we should put it in this way that proper and situational display of emotion is important so that it can reach out to the targeted receiver;and here our logic plays a great role.So lets encourage emotion and logic to go hand in hand.. parallelly .. like a rail track without any collision till the destination.
