Transient emotions

Emotions are transient. What does it mean?

Simply this tells people not to hold on to emotions for too long, but let go when it should be let go. This is transient, or in temporary short phases. If emotions are fervently held on and a person doesn't let go, it could become toxic, and this can build up high doses of toxicity inside a person. Do you want this to happen to ya? I suppose no one wishes for that right? But somehow, we still repeat this mistake throughout our lives.

Marie Callas quotes examples of emotions turning toxic.

What she says has a point to me.

People who are filled with hatred self destruct after years of negative attitude deep inside. For example, the recent case of a 15 year old Japanese school girl who killed her father was mainly due to the resentment and hatred towards her father who only wanted her to study more. Her hatred was filled to the brim and finally, tragedy happened. It wouldn't be the case if she learned how to let go, but I guess each society is different and she was still young to understand, however, human spirituality is the same no matter where you are.

Another example of obsessive love. Too much love for someone is negative too. It become obsessive to the extent of wanting to own someone totally. This leads to conflict and jealousy which are again, ingredients for a potential tragedy.

So, my friends, learn to understand emotions are transient. Accept that it comes into your life, but be humble to let it get out of you when the right time comes. Set direction arrows in your life and honour it.

Emotions are only bad when we fail to honour it and allow it to pass that it becomes harmful.
