Emotions vs Feelings
Emotions and feelings are integral parts of human nature. Following them shapes the course of our lives. The very fact that we can feel sets us apart from unconscious objects. Many individuals navigate life by their emotions and feelings, which profoundly influence their path.
Emotions are tensions during which a person becomes tense and filled with negative energy. This causes one to lose control over one's actions in life. Unfortunately, that's why we talk about emotional people in a negative sense.
Feelings are energies that pass smoothly through a person, allowing them to reach states such as unconditional love, joy, and inner happiness from the surrounding world or from existence itself. A person who has experienced high feelings will always desire to stay in these energies.
It's important to recognize that following our emotions, particularly negative ones like anger, grief, hate, and jealousy, can lead to regret and terrible life decisions. Allowing destructive emotions to control us exposes our weaknesses. It's a losing battle.
Focusing on positive feelings like love, joy, and peace can significantly improve our lives. These feelings guide us towards a more fulfilling path. While it may be challenging for some to achieve this high emotional awareness, especially if they constantly act on negative emotions, the effort is worthwhile. Understanding this can empower us to take control of our emotional well-being.
Long exposure to negative emotions can have harmful effects on our mental and emotional well-being, such as depression and nervous breakdowns. On the other hand, embracing higher feelings like peace, love, and joy can lead to a flourishing of the soul.
While maintaining these higher feelings in our fast-paced modern lives may be challenging, it's worth the effort because positive feelings develop our souls, make our bodies healthy, and calm our minds.
To sum up, emotions pull us down and destroy our lives; higher feelings lift us higher, making our souls blossom with inner happiness. This cannot be bought or inherited. You have to work for it and achieve it yourself. As they say, there is no elevator for some things, but there are stairs.
Working on your own higher feelings is the only way to inner happiness. It's like climbing the stairs of awareness - step by step without an elevator. It's not easy, but it is doable. Good luck...
