The whole of ourselves

 

The whole of ourselves is made up of many different emotions. Happiness, sorrow, joy and fear. We constantly are at their mercy as they can strike at any given moment. The average person goes through a variety of said emotions trying their best to understand why. They ask themselves are they being punished for something; did they draw the short straw? Or are they just a victim of circumstance. The reality of our whole self is we aren’t experiencing anything different; we just seem to be given more than our fair share. In our lifetime if we are blessed with many years, you must put the whole of life into perspective and weigh out the troubling times with the wonderful times. I believe we were meant to experience every emotion ever known but the difficult part is when we are faced with too many in a short span. Having to may emotions thrown at you will cause an effect called mental overload. You will shut down and dismiss the emotions giving you the peace you long for. The most difficult part of a mental overload is coming out of it. The great healer known as time will help with that. Once the emotions have been slowed, new ones will begin to grow eventually taking over the ones you’ve dealt with. You will understand this if you’ve ever experienced something in your life that broke you. Once you’ve cried out that emotion it can never come back to you the same way. It diminishes to an acceptable level you can deal with. The whole of ourselves is a complex machine and one that’s constantly testing our abilities to over come them and hold our lives in check.
