Overcoming Emotions(part 1) - Emmanuel Ariyo
Emotion is an involuntary and psychological response to situations, occurrences, events, object, people or even places. it is responsible for joy, happiness, sadness, love, anger, hatred, sorrow, patience, excitement, worry, stubbornness, pride, humility, fear, boldness, courage, trust, doubt and the list continues.
Some people are said to be highly emotional, such people over react to situations. While some other people on the other hand are less emotional . Studies have revealed that ladies are more emotional compared to guys on the average.
Emotion could be hereditary or could be as a result of past experiences. I know of people who live in constant fear and doubt just because of what they had experienced in the past. Emotion could also be affected by education, doctrines and religious beliefs.
Truly, emotion is involuntary(i.e it manifests unintentionally or without explicit will). So, some people have been enslaved to their emotions. A lady once complained to me that her fiancé was maltreating her, he was not giving her any form of respect and attention. So I told her to quit, but she refused, she claimed she still loved him. so she continued to suffer silently in her relationship. Some guys have been held ransom by ladies who do not care about them. Somebody was telling me how a lady wasted two years of his life time, with constant negligence and insults. The guy lived in constants depression for those years until he finally moved on. Some people failed in school just because they lack control for affection and love. Many fell sick, some committed suicide, some aborted, while some others carried an unwanted pregnancy that result to the termination of their ambition. some had to steal, rob, carry cocaine or even do more terrible things because the affection they had for someone demands such price. Anger has made some people to loose their jobs, some lost good friends and Opportunities. Stubbornness has cost some people their lives. We can keep saying several things of good and evil that had resulted from emotion.
However, emotion is not bad, it's good. I believe some level of emotion is important to sympathize, empathize, love and get happiness. So it's a bad thing if emotion is totally eliminated in a man. A man without emotion is gonna be crude, wicked, heartless and selfish because he already lacked human feelings. watch out for the next episode... See more interesting articles
