We laughed because we were happy. We cry because we are sad. We were angry because we were mad. Every action we will make depends on our emotions. How can we just stop because someone told us to do so? How can we be able to change the actions we do when we are furious to express our emotions? It's not like driving a vehicle where we can change the course immediately. It's the emotions that we need to let it out or else we will be the one to suffer from it. Regardless, the emotions are not involuntary.
How can we be angry without a certain reason? There's always a reason behind the emotions you want to express. It's impossible to laugh or smile when you're not doing anything. Although, emotions will never be there without the existence of our senses. If we see someone smiling alone, for sure that person is imagining or doing things we never see. Just don't include those who have problems mentally because no one can tell what they're thinking.
Let's say, for example, we saw someone crying alone. Before we started concluding things without knowing the real story. It's not a bother to put ourselves first in their situation. What if that person has a broken heart, unsolved problems, or anything that made them very sad? If we think rationally we can tell why that person expressed such a reaction. Come on, no one will cry all of a sudden without experiencing something. It's better not to judge and understand first. Instead of dragging them into despair, we can help them.
When I talk about emotions, they are not involuntary. We can have a hint that we can control if we want to. Let's share my story or something that happened some time ago. I was broken, my 10 years girlfriend broke up with me. It's uncontrollable, in my thoughts that time I wanted to shout out loud to release the pain in my chest. I wanted to let the tears fall endlessly thinking that it was the way to lessen the pain. However, I was not alone, I was in a place surrounded by many people. I didn't want to embarrass myself more despite the pain I bore that time. If you're telling me emotions can't be controlled, you got it wrong.
I searched for a quiet place to be alone. I made sure no one could hear me or see me. When I was so sure of it, I started to let go of the emotions I had. I found ways to release it all by crying silently and breathing deeply so that it looked like I shouted. No one can tell that the pain I had back then was just the least because we're talking about love. If you think you will not take things seriously if it's about love. Don't compare because all of us have individualities.
That is just an example that we can control ourselves if we want to. If we want to punch someone because we're mad. If we want to sue someone because it's unforgivable. We should think first about the results before we do so. Are we sure that we will not regret it? To spice up our thoughts in restraining ourselves, let's put our loved ones. What will happen to them if we do this? What will happen to them if we can't be with them anymore? In releasing our emotions we should think first about our loved ones who love us that will suffer more. Will we be able to suppress our emotions seeing them sad or worse crying almost every day? I'm talking about the worst outcome here if we let the rage take over us.
If some of us don't value existence. Please reconsider, think of those who love us. It will be a pity seeing them sad. It's not losing pride by admitting to giving way. It's just that we are being wise not to affect our life by that single mistake that can't be forgotten. If we are mad, restrain and breathe deeply where the good thoughts will come into our mind. In that way, we can do the best way rather than the wrong actions. Chance is like an opportunity that you can not have all the time. Choose a peaceful life where happiness can be seen everywhere.
