Cause and Effect...

 

Cause and effect...expressing emotions is necessary, to repress any is unhealthy. Ironically, in any extreme emotional state logic gets thrown out the window because we're driven by the passion of that emotion. Controlling emotions takes skill unless there is a denial of that emotion. I question whether we can really control emotions anyway. Isn't that what makes it an emotion? That it's not driven by logic? But something much deeper and more powerful existing within us. Every individual has to own their emotions because it has an impact on others. Life has taught me that we do not have a right to question someone's feelings. If they have it and own it, we must respect it. Anyone with any intelligence will try to understand. By all means that doesn't mean we have to agree with it but we have to acknowledge it. It is legitimate. Imagine you shared your feelings and they were completely disregarded. How would that make you feel? Sometimes rules are meant to be broken, but relationships are like eggs, once they are broken they are never the same again. Unconventional pressure may be a good thing or not. It depends how far you want to stray and is it far enough you won't be able to come back. Expression and speaking the mind may be challenging and unnerving to yourself and the ones you're close to. Surges of emotions feel like a storm one minute and blue skies the next. It's usually getting carried away in the storms that blows you in a direction that has ill effects.What does this all mean? It means, we are a reflection of each other. For example, I give off a certain energy and you will respond/react to me accordingly. I may not realize my affect on you but it exists nonetheless, or I may. Point being it's a chain reaction. Every interaction you have with another person involves this concept. Are you in tune with it? Probably not. Can you be? Sure. Depends how strong this energy is, how important this person is and your own self awareness. 

Keep your mind active and sharp...

Find compromises...

Use the power of good reasoning...

Tighten your focus...

No escaping...

The cause...

And effect...
