Hello readers
Hope you all are doing
well.
Kind words are short and easy to speak, but the echoes are truly endless.
-Mother Teresa.
Thank god it is a Friday!
Well that is the slogan trending everywhere, especially for the people who are in
the corporate cycle, I am also one among them and I can tell you for me now
almost all the days are becoming similar, so I guess I have become used to it.
Each one us are built
differently, some are eccentric some are conventional others are just mellow,
some are over emotional, collectively we call it emotions.
Does our emotions
drive us actually the they do, like an year ago I watched a documentary in the
famous infotainment channel national geographic about why we swear at people
when we see people driving recklessly on roads. The explanation given was, driving
is treated as a complex task by the brain and the whole neural network.
All the systems like the
neural response system the external receptive system, the conscious and sub-conscious
are in their most efficient mode during a drive. So if a car next to you
suddenly over-took from the wrong side we tend to swear on him as the whole
system of the body works on instincts which is directly linked to an emotional
reaction that is the reason we react so sharply at times.
We have always been told
by teachers our advisers to control our emotions.
But the big question is,
are we able to control emotions? Most of
us would answer in the following way: we control emotions wherever required and
after certain age in a person’s life. Well I too agree with that. We still see
people who lose emotions end up breaking down or crying or fuming with anger.
Well it is not
important to know why it happens but we must understand crying for no reason or
losing your temper for silly things around you seriously will not work out.
The reason why I am
saying that unnecessary break down and bursting out of emotions have lost its
value over time! The simple example would be the cinema, you see the same actor
in different movies, and he or she wears a character that involves showing the audience
all the usual emotions, first on the list would be laughing and crying and so
on.
When we watch a movie
if there is scene which involves crying, we hardly take it seriously as you
know it is part of the act, but we would have watched some people next to you
would be crying profusely for a reasonable amount of time.
Have we ever thought
why does it happen with some of us?
Recently a sampling analysis
was conducted in America, and a group of 25 people were sent to a movie which
has an equal amount of sorrow, happiness and disappointment. So after the movie
behavioral scientists observed the videos of the audience watching the movies
which were recorded using a closed circuit camera. Out of the 25, fifteen
people were in deep sorrow when the lead actor was in trouble. The remaining 10
just showed body language and continued to watch the movie with ease.
So the scientists,
concluded the people who were weeping, involved themselves so much in the movie
that the illusion turned out to be a reality for them.
The scientists just ran
through the daily activities of these people just to find out if they were
emotionally stressed at their homes, the answer turned out it be an yes. So the
scientists coined the term called as ‘Reserve emotions’.
Reserve emotions are,
when you relate your current situation to someone else’s situation and feel
helpless about it and react in the same way that other person is doing.
Well there ends the
study, and the inference of that study is don’t be over emotional in life. We
should all control our emotions, I am not telling you to become a wooden log emotions
are very important to us, but only in the right spirit.
We must all enjoy the
tiny cheerful lives that we have been gifted by God, instead of always cribbing
and crying for the things which we don’t have.
There are people in
this world who don’t know what is love, what is proper food and so on , so let’s
try to improve that and thank our stars that we are better off.Remember useless arguments and emotional break down is just a trick played by your mind, don't fall for it.
All the best for your journey
of life, and thanks for your time.
