Containing your Emotions.

source-157-girl2

We all experience negative emotions; yesterday I reached my breaking point I lashed out to the person who caused me to feel so much anger. It didn’t go well with my husband who thought I should have held back my emotions because other people were around. I apologised to him but deep inside me I knew that I was very angry; a very rare emotion for me. I was defending him from emotional stress caused by his relatives, should I have sat back and watch them use emotional blackmail on him? No way, I will always speak out although I shouldn’t let my emotions run amok, I shouldn’t stuff them either. Your emotions will come out eventually even if you try to bury them. If you suppress your emotions you might end up like an older man who lay in hospital on the verge of death. As he floated on the verge of consciousness for two weeks, his faithful wife sat in a chair by him every moment. When he finally became lucid enough to speak, he whispered,”Honey, you have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired you were there to support me. When we lost our house, you never left my side. You were there when I lost my business, and when my health started failing.”
“Yes, dear,”she answered, smiling.
“You know what?” he said.
“What dear?” she asked.
“You are bad luck!”
Suppressing your emotions will not lead to contentment.
The law of human behaviour states that;” sooner or later we get just what we expect.”
I have a question to ask you: Is this law of human behaviour optimistic or pessimistic?
Stop and think about your answer because your response reveals your attitude. Your attitude determines your outlook.

    whoever gave such law must be oblivious of “element of surprise”
    and “time and unforeseen occurrence”.

    the law from the floor am looking at it is flawed.

    expectation alone does not bring about result.

    I have a question to ask you: Is this law of human behaviour optimistic or pessimistic?

    the question, i think, is inherently ambiguous;
    the law goes either way: depending on your expectation.

    that’s my take. what does that reveal about me?

        it’s easy: if i want to be positive,
        i’ll simply answer…optimistic

        if i want to appear negative…i’ll answer: pessimistic
