Anger, I have felt has always been my enemy. It’s not an emotion I like to feel. So throughout my life I’ve made the mistake of burying it. Now I have to face it. Uncomfortable yes. But better to feel it in the moment rather than shoving it down then exploding like a volcano. Thank you for this! Great insights! 😊
How interesting, the distinction between emotion and feeling words often used interchangeably. And love that can be bad, not good, or anger similarly. Set me thinking, thank you.
Maybe I’ve been too quick to sort emotions into good girls and bad girls. Anger has pushed me forward before, and love has definitely made me excuse things I shouldn’t have. Odel-chan, I think I’m keeping this one close.
It is almost impossible not to feel some emotions. You have to wait 90 seconds and by that time most of it will have subsided. Acting on an emotion is a choice. It is hard to find a justification for some emotions such as jealousy or envy. Again like you said feeling it is one thing, acting on it is quite another.
Denying your emotions is bad for your health. We dont make them up. Its completelynatural to be angry and express it. Talking calmy and quietly tovthe abusers isnt seem working. If its anger born of jealousy because you were abused you had better let that out. Or the abusers will just keep being abusive
Absolutely agree! Jealousy and Envy are the hardest to justify. I try to covert them to “want”. I want whatever it is that they have. I try not to hate them because of it or look for ways I can get it from them. Great Article!
I was riveted by your post and fascinated by your conclusions but wow- I don’t fully agree. First off the difference between fear and doubt in regards to Jesus, in my view, negligible. I believe it is said he cried out “Father, why have you forsaken me?” which to my mind infers doubt and fear both.
But the analysis of your aunt- could be very generous on your part. Spoiling your children isn’t loving them too deeply - it’s in my mind the most selfish and easy path to avoiding the most important responsibility we’re ever entrusted to accomplish.
I understand why you don’t fully agree. It’s true I didn’t make the difference between fear and doubt. When I was writing that part, I only thought about how did I came to reflect what an emotion is. Although later when publishing it, I did realize I didn’t explain fear and doubt, nor the situation with Jesus. But I left it like this because, at this stage of the text I was not trying to explain this feeling yet. But I did feel, it could have been great. Thanks for pointing it out.
I agree with you about my aunt, it’s a form of selfish and lack of responsibility, even though can we completely say she’s not acting out of love? We are not judging if it’s the good or bad way, what I tried to show there was even if love is often considering as a good thing, if it’s not expressing in a good way and with discipline, its effect can be bad as well.
I was taught that showing anger is bad. I was supposed to be sweet and kind and happy always, but it is not good to suppress our emotions. We need to feel it fully and try to understand it without letting it consume us. We can learn to communicate about it without having negative reactions. We are human, though and sometimes we do react. The most we can do is try to not cause harm to anyone, ourselves included, when we feel anger.
I agree. We are emotional beings. We feel and what we feel comes somewhere and they are not bad nor good, our reactions can be however good or bad, that depends on the way we express them
I understand your point of view. But it's almost impossible not feeling anger, when we try to stay true to ourselves, there are things that we can not tolerate, that hurt us and we can feel anger sometimes. But feeling it and how we express it are two different things. This is just the beginning of our reflexions on emotions, stay on board and we will see about accepting and expressing emotions soon.

Well said, Theresa. better to feel and face it rather than avoiding it and then exploding and losing control of ourselves.
Thank you so much !

Thank you. I’m glad it spoke to you. I hope seeing you in the next step in the reflections on Emotions
No love greater than Christian hate.
Thank you so much, dear one !

Thank you, sempai.
Stay aboard a little longer, Asuka-sama. We have a long trip to do on emotions, for now none of them are bad nor good. And you perfectly resume that.

I couldn’t agree more. Thank you !
Thank you so much!
We are emotional beings and emotions can bring colors in our lives. The feeling is one thing, acting is an other thing.
