What Do We Do With All These Emotions?
It is part of being human to experience emotion.
"Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with
it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must
flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe." - Winston
Churchill
All things in this manifested reality and
beyond have purpose and meaning. Even emotions have purpose. If
it were not for the emotion of anger, what would motivate us to
change? The emotion of fear freezes us in our tracks and makes
us unable to pursue unknown higher ground. Even babies and
animals feel emotions and it is a natural element of life. Yet
so many people wish to not have this natural experience.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the
emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and
stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
