you are right... complete repression is probably not healthy... although i cant say for sure.... i suppose it IS possible that someone may be able to do so and still be mentally and physically healthy....
what i was trying to get at is that there are some who are very controlled in their emotional expression and personally i dont think that is bad at all.... to the contrary.... but yet i see those people being chastized for it !!!!!
you mean the Elk.... dont worry... it died quickly... tho it did take two shots to bring him down !!!!!! and a third to put him out of its misery !!!!!
we ALL have them... We ALL show them (in our own unique way) yet at the same time, there are some established "guidelines" dictating how, when, where, who and why....
i think yall would agree that it is generally accepted that love, hate, anger, sadness, etc etc all have their time and place. and they also have their boundaries as to how they are expressed...
as with everything else, the "protocols" for all these emotions are firmly set in place, every movie, tv show, shrink, counselor, friend, pastor, parent, etc in our lives, has spent a great deal of time telling us from a young age to show love, care, compassion, sympathy and so on...they also have taught us that we must learn to deal with negative emotions as well so that they dont make us react "inapropiately".
but how about repressing or controlling emotions???? i've heard just about everyone i've ever talked to about the subject, that it is very bad to do so.... my question is why?
here is my point... if you do not love, you will never be hurt. i you do not hate, you will never react in anger. if you do not care, you will never be taken advantage of or be shocked. if you do not feel sympathy you will be able to carry on without being held back.
now... this is not about those devoid of emotion... as i said... we all have them... im just talking about people who control their emotions and share them ONLY with a very select few...
i know most of yall would say, such people cannot be happy.... but i would disagree... i think they can actually be happier than most, because they are much less likely to be negatively affected by life's "downs".... yet they can still rejoice in the "ups" !!!!
well that's what you get for not sitting quietly in the back, and instead telling the cab driver the "best" route to where you were going !!! or to pull over for directions !!!!
it is true and apology accepted... i know what its like to say stuff... normally i would have just rolled with the joke but i guess you just happen to catch me on a weak moment..... !!!
