“Your Emotional Turmoil creates repercussions. If it is your constant habit, try to find a solution instead of spreading it.”

Starting from the teenage till death, it is the emotions which for most of us are the driving factor of our life. For one moment in a day you are happy and filled with joy, life seems very good to you, all the people around are very good and you seem to have no problem at all but next moment due to some reason you make a complete U-turn, the people who seemed to be loving are no less than devil now, you seem to be cursed by someone for the worst possible life. If your emotions are like this, no matter how happy you feel for a moment but you really are a cursed life simply because you have absolutely no control over your emotions and you expect everyone to be on good terms with you. So now you have two problems, one is your Emotional Rollercoaster and the other is your expectations. You can do nothing about how others behave with you unless you are an enlightened being and you radiate so much energy that no one messes with you, but this enlightenment thing is a completely different ball game so you better don’t expect others to be the way you want them to be. Now for the turmoil, you want people to know what is going on in your life, you post on your social media that you are going through such mess, life is so difficult and you are unable to carry yourself through it. The thing is your social media friends or the people you want to show who somehow made you suffer can do nothing for you and rather you are giving everyone a message that you are weak from within. In your turmoil you are creating so many repercussions that people will soon be fed up from you, no one wants a dual-faced person who for one moment seems very nice and for the other completely opposite. Better is to stay silent and look where the things are going wrong, maybe you are expecting so much from people at home, at your workplace or society!

To live a life without this emotional imbalance, this understanding is necessary that everyone has a different mindset and perception, and it is completely fine for things to not to be in your favour rather you should be so mature and responsible to get things working without much friction.

It would have been a never-ending debate about who is superior between a man and woman but then someone wise enough said that they both complete each other or else till today we would have been fighting over this; just a shift in perception can do wonders, isn’t it? Sometimes it so happens that we may find many problems with the way others are but never look at ourselves. We can also be wrong somewhere but our mind never lets us realize that maybe the pain we are going through is a mere reflection of what we are giving to others. A dog barks when you throw a stone unless it will always sway its tail!

I have seen people who can talk endless wisdom about how one should be, but when it comes to them they forget everything. It’s not that they were making up stories, it is just that when something unfavourable happened to them they forgot their own very nature, the intensity of thing overwhelmed them. Later when things settle down they realize that whatever they were doing was complete nonsense, they just made themselves a joke among others. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the impermanence of things and remain intact with our foundation.

Yes, there are situations that are so intense that you are not able to take yourself out on your own, for that you have a family or someone very close to you whom you can consult but posting everything out for the world to see is still not an option. When you tell everyone openly about your weakness you become much more hostile, you may be doing it for some sympathy but in reality, you are providing everyone with an open space to put you down. If I tell about myself, there is just one person at the professional front who knows me the way I am known to no one, yes everyone has a weak side but telling openly is like going to war without bullets :)

Life- as it is!

Ad.
