“Don’t block your emotion forcefully; let them flow in a very natural way!”
Emotions!
Each individual has their own feelings and means of expressing them. Although each person may express that emotion differently, they will all refer to it by the same term. The cause of each person’s feeling may vary, but the emotion’s name will always be the same.
Like Newton said, ‘every action has an equal and opposite reaction’, in the same way ‘every emotion has its own way of expression’. We are aware of the rationale behind Newton’s assertion, but how and why does each emotion have its own unique mode of expression? Does each emotion actually have a unique manner to be expressed? Why do different people have different reactions to the same feeling that arises from the same circumstance?
What will occur if a person doesn’t express themselves at all? What if all emotions remained hidden or unspoken? What if someone expresses himself incorrectly?
Using laughter as an example, picture yourself in a situation where you are unable to express your joy by laughing, but you remember something or a close friend made a joke. What will you do? You’ll make an effort to restrain your laughter and watch for the appropriate moment. When you eventually feel that the circumstance is appropriate for your laugh, you just speak it out loud. And now that you’ve successfully managed it for a while, you’re laughing while having water in your eyes! It will be an uncontrollable chuckle! Laughing is OK in this scenario right now, but what about other emotions like crying, rage, or frustration?Instead of classifying it as either positive or negative, shouldn’t we put them all under the umbrella term “natural emotion”? As every feeling that arises from the same experience may induce distinct emotions in different persons, as we discussed previously In a similar vein, while laughing might be healthy for my health, the individual at whom I’m laughing might be feeling evil-minded. Hence, in this case, laughing is advantageous for one person while being detrimental to another. So, we won’t classify it as a positive or negative emotion.
What will happen if we don’t let our feelings of anger, sadness, or frustration out when the time is right? What would occur if we failed to channel it? There is a danger that it will manifest incorrectly or with more severity, which will harm our physical, emotional, and mental health. It might suddenly burst out! The circumstance or action may not be healthy for us. Unexpressed emotions, in the words of the father of psychology, “will never die.” They are still alive and will surface later in more hideous ways.
“Don’t restrict your emotion forcefully; let them flow in a very natural way!” is the thought that appears in this picture with a clean background.
Now, it depends on the individual how it will come out, how to choose that method, which way will be healthy for us, and which way will be unhealthy. Each of us will experience this differently, so it cannot apply to every circumstance.
Thus, don’t ignore or suppress your feelings because they are just as natural as sneezing. We shouldn’t have to strive to control our emotions since we can’t control our sneeze. The only requirement is to select the appropriate means of expression!
