using emotions as compass
bad idea this is like default compass for modern days culture. I wanna feel emotionally good thats the purpose.
relationship is not making me happy so i don’t want to be in one, married ! so what, i will get a divorce. parents are not making me feel good so i will not spent time with them, heck send them to retirement home. so i could do what makes me emotionally happy. why would i compromise, it doesn’t make me feel good.
so what is the idea of emotional happiness. going on dates? partying with friends? eating in great restaurant? smoking? drinking? shopping? maybe working on a project that will make you famous?
I am just writing things i usually see on the movies something that media sells on purpose. just match the life style of character in movie and you will be as happy as that actor. let us show you the way of libration.
emotions are temporary just like a nice meal, taste can only satisfies momentarily but how many good meal you can remember. I am talking about the taste of meal. I can’t really remember any. it doesn’t give any satisfaction. satisfaction is more of the outcome of the positive quality like compassion and service.
it’s perfectly ok to feel negative emotions and they are bound to passed away just like any other emotion. feeling excited? well this won’t last forever soon enough you will feel depressed as well. today you might feel compassionate tomorrow envious. these emotions are bound to come ( specially if you keep feeding them with amateur reaction ) and go. and if that is the compass of your life and decision are based on these. there could be a better and more deliberate way.
