Emotion


Emotion is a mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes. Unlike moods they have objects: one grieves over some particular thing, or is angry at something.

Why is emotion worth studying? To a lesser context, it leads to argument, break up, and unpleasant feelings. To a larger context, it leads to bad health and death.

Too often, the spark of an argument is because of unpleasant word from a particular person. Have you ever wonder, how do you hear something, pleasant or unpleasant. It's the vibration of air particle, with a string of organize 'voice' it becomes word.

Let's see how emotion started, 1st you see or hear something, then that the brain process that message, if it's something you do not like, you get angry, if it's something you like, you feel happy.

Since we can't control what we see or hear, to control our emotions, we have to control how our brain process these messages.

As said, words are just a string of organize voice. And too often, same words from different person have different emotion outcome. With the one closest to you bring most vulnerable to your 'emotion outbreak'.

Let's try to listen to what your love one tries to tell you and not by hearing what the words are. What sounds unpleasant is just your own perceptions. When your love one complain on something, don't just hear the complains, listen to them. Know what they need, what is the reason behind the complain.

Well, it's easier to said than done. And it's not a 1-hour process. Just try to love the one that love you, and when you've done done, extend this logic be loving someone that hates you.
