We are alive and that is why we have feelings. That's kind of an obvious thing, right?
Well, having feelings is a normal thing but many times, within us, a war happens - “clash of emotions”. And this clash sucks our energy like a blood sucking leech. So, what to do at such times? Should we dig a pit in our mind and bury these emotions? However, this is certainly not a solution. Sometimes, emotions are so powerful that even after burying them in a mind pit, they stalk and haunt us as ghosts.
Emotions, whether harsh or delicate or even hard to understand, we need not suppress them, we rather need to liberate them. And for their liberalization, we have to learn to compartmentalize them. If we focus with absolute intellect, we can see that overlapping of feelings can damage their transparency and genuineness. At such times, compartmentalization helps in understanding each emotion deeply. Such understanding, in turn, helps to handle those highs and lows of tides of emotions.
For example, even though we all love and respect ourselves. But loving and respecting ourselves do not mean we allow us to do whatever we want to. To sustain the wisdom of sanity and insanity, we need to do self introspection at regular intervals. Now, during one of such self-introspections, we may find that something we have done is un-due. There is a possibility that such fact check may lead us towards guilty, shame and misery. Moreover, sometimes these emotions become so powerful that it may affect our self-confidence and self-love.
But, does this mean we should stop loving, caring and respecting ourselves? Of course, not.
Here, the situation demands that we should competently compartmentalize our emotions. We must make sure that self-love and self-confidence should not overlap with self-shame or pity. We must think what led us to perform such un-due act?, Instead of escaping from asking question to our self, we should go to the root cause and deeply analyze the answer received from within. Here, if you will be unfaithful to yourself while answering, no one but yourself will be the victim of that. Hence, conducting a transparent self-introspection is very necessity, but this entire process should be done without losing respect and kindness towards the self.
As the situation becomes fragile, we have to become strong enough to handle each emotion with care and respect. Yes, harsh or healthy – each emotion should be handled with purity. We must make our mind understand, we can not undo the past, but we can surely be lessoned from the past for making ourselves better and better.
