Emotions. Not our fault. The literal definition of emotion is : a natural instinctive state of mind. Part of our "human code" is to experience and then feel. Therefore our initial emotion that we experience in any given second is truly part of our human instincts. However, does that give us the justification of running away with our emotions? The second half of the definition is: an intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge. Well...I guess we could argue that maybe, just maybe a little, we are allowed to let our emotions get the best of us. ....Unless we have had prior knowledge or reasoning.
I often find myself in a pool of feelings and emotions, drowning in confusion. My friend gave a great analogy of what to do when drowning.
So your in the shallow end of the pool where there is only 2 feet of water. You have your water wings on. You are nowhere near that rope that separates the shallow from the deep end. Yet for some reason you feel like you are drowning and you are flailing and kicking and yelling and you know you are about to die. You can see people standing on the edge of the pool kind of laughing at you and pointing and you start yelling for help, because your drowning.
Finally someone says, "Hey, just stand up".
