Eyes that do not cry do not see
Swedish Proverb
Our feelings are important. In my time management seminars some participants regret that sometimes they feel angry, irritated, jealous, upset etc. I tell them that feelings distinguish living beings from nonliving things. As long as we live, we will have feelings. When we die, our body will not have any feelings just like a table and chair!
We are not only living beings, but also human beings. As human beings we not only have feelings, but we also have the ability to control and conquer the same. Animals also have feelings, but they are not in control of their feelings. As they cannot control their feelings, they cannot conquer the same.
When overcome with feelings, our intelligence should guide and channelize our feelings to achieve constructive objectives. Our anger, irritation, jealousy etc, are required to achieve something in our life.
Because animals cannot intelligently deploy and direct their feelings, they are getting extinct. Even strong and huge animals like Dinosaurs are extinct today. Stronger animals like lions, tigers and elephants are enslaved by the man.
So, we should have feelings and in control of the same so that we maintain this edge over other living things!
Next time when you get too angry and irritated, remember this!
