What is it like to feel emotions? Terrible and wonderful.
With deep emotions, objectivity in the world is clouded. All we can do is feel. We learn to trust our emotions. There is a reason we feel how we feel. With such deep emotions and strong intellect the insight we have for existence is rare, unique, and desirable.
How can we translate our experience for the rest of you? This blog is a great start. We are working towards a license to sell real estate. In the real estate coursework we learned the buying and selling of real estate is, no matter how calculated, an emotional choice. How we behave in the world is predicated on beliefs; and, beliefs are held, not only in thought, but also and maybe more strongly - in emotions.
What then for people who do not feel as deeply as we do? The world of humanity will be lost without reflective awareness of our emotions. We must come together in a balance of reason and emotion. We must validate each other in a positive, healthy, expansive way.
Being sad for being sad only makes the sadness worse. Being happy is something which requires effort. The emotions run too deep to simply be happy. Too much disappointment and thwarted expectations inhibit happiness.
Even more challenging is not emulating the emotions of those around us. Raising our awareness to a sense of experience where we can identify the emotions of others without emulating that emotion with ourself helps establish a stronger sense of self and objectivity. With deep emotion, no emotion is free from the depth. Even joy can be felt very deeply. In the depth of joy and love we relax deeper into enlightenment.
