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.

Take control and charge

In life we get depressed and dejected. That's pretty normal because we humans experience the full spectrum of emotions that's why we are Higher Intelligence! Imagine boyfriend or girlfriend tells you it is all over, you feel you want to cry and die. That is very strong emotion detachment.

I did experience that a few years ago and I can tell you it is really something unpleasant that makes you want to hide in your room and cry for days! So if you are experience such thing now, the key is not to focus on the negatives, but focus on the positives. I'm sure you can figure that out. There are always 2 sides of a coin. One good one bad.

When it seems that life is coming at you in every direction, stop and declare firmly that you are walking in perfect peace. Take back your joy, reclaim your victory, and let the enemy know that you have been broken but you are strong enough to know that you are not defeated. Take control of that very thing. You may have been broken but you are not weak!
