Regulating Emotions (part 2)

Image
  Being conscious leads to being in control . It’s happens somewhat this way- 1.       You become conscious 2.       Then you know how you feel, how the situation is (you have analysed the situation and yourself) 3.       Logic and reason is embedded in us, it’s always there but earlier it was blinded by our emotions but this time it’s not 4.       Now you know what’s the right thing to do or say (you are totally conscious of whatever you are doing so you will be in control of expressing yourself) 5.       Emotions will be in control.   “I don’t know why I did what I did” If you think about it, it makes total sense. Like have you ever said “I don’t know why I did what I did”. It’s because you actually didn’t know why you did it, you were not aware of what you were doing and you just did without thinking about its repercussions. If you eve...

Regulating Emotions (Part 1)

  Sometimes we become so ignorant of things or so blind that the reality is right in front of us and we are not able to see it. Humans are very much driven by emotions, which is a good thing because it helps us in many ways and many others around us. But sometime they become the source of our problem and this happens when we are blinded by emotions. Let that emotion be love or anger or sadness or happiness. Anything in excess is damaging and so are good things. Like eating too much causes vomiting. Extreme happiness and euphoria is a mental illness.   Regulating emotions    The key solution here is “controlling emotions” or an even better term “regulating emotions”. This all comes under the concept of emotional intelligence which is as much important as any other form of intelligence.  We are never explicitly taught about emotional regulation and it’s believed that it comes with age as does wisdom. We spent our lives without knowing that how much weightage we ar...

HUMANITY: A product of Civilization

Image
  This blog is a little different from my other blogs, it's just a way of perceiving our live and our existence.  Tracing back the history of humans existence, we go back to early man- back to million years ago where survival was the prime motive of life. Human behaviour was quite different from today but also somewhat the same- if you look close enough. For survival early man would kill another man, dominate, steal from other. Marking territories and bordering, the implicit rule of ‘not entering the territory of another’. If we look closely to all this, we still have the same kind of behaviour but we show it in a civilized way. If we look at the present, we have laws and orders to keep us from killing each other, or stealing from others and for many more behaviours. If humanity was embedded in us, we wouldn’t need rules and laws. But they are here to control our innate behavior. A system was made to tame humans- democracy, dictatorship, monarchy- all these form of governm...
