I have complex emotions. One minute I am happy, excited, next minute I am sad, angry, upset, disappointed. I cannot predict what my mood will be tomorrow. I don’t make a conscious effort to influence my mood for the day, but I basically react to my surroundings. And of course, my beliefs and feelings greatly determine my core pattern of reactions or emotions. I am ultra sensitive especially on certain things, I think we all are. Every human being’s emotion is like a transmitter that also receives signals from outside. We are all inter-active. We re-act to one another.
You walk into a room with a big smile, you come out teary eyed. Totally unexpected but one that could have been avoided or prevented with a better control of feelings and with the proper frame of mind. Acceptance. Acceptance that the world is inhabited with different people. People far different from what you are. Different orientations, different sets of guidance. People with good intentions but different way of expressions.
If there are 100 people, there would be 100 different perceptions of one single thing. And that’s where things become more complex. An apple looks like an orange, so maybe it’s an orange, or no, it’s a mango. Then the whole rationalization creates more complexity of understanding one another. So what do we do? I think nothing. Better not to over-analyze and rationalize. The objective mind could be muddled by the powerful creative thoughts and emotions. Easy to say if one’s personality is not influenced by some memories kept deep into the unconscious.
