Oh I don't want to talk about this
I am so sick of your inane comments
You make me sick
It's all your fault
The government is against me
I hate you
Recognize any of the above?
Do you want to add at least another seventy,
or so, emotional outbursts, some positive, most negative.
Here is a small list?
Affection Anger Angst Anguish Annoyance Anxiety Apathy Arousal Awe Boredom
Confidence Contempt Contentment Courage Curiosity Depression Desire
Despair Disappointment Disgust Distrust Dread Ecstasy Embarrassment Envy
Euphoria Excitement Fear Frustration Gratitude Grief Guilt Happiness
Hatred Hope Horror Hostility Hurt Hysteria Indifference Interest Jealousy
Joy Loathing Loneliness Love Lust Outrage Panic Passion Pity Pleasure
Pride Rage Regret Relief Remorse Sadness Satisfaction
Self-confidence
Shame Shock Shyness Sorrow Suffering Surprise Terror Trust Wonder Worry
Zeal Zest
The range is enormous and as varied as our behavior allows.
Emotion is what motivates our behavior in a negative, or positive manner, depending on how we feel at the time.
So the list above can be both positive, or negative.
In most cases of behavioral lack, we hide behind the use of emotional blackmail that we call communication.
It's the juggling between our own personality,
character and our perception of how we believe others see us,
that determines which emotion we use and whether it will have a positive,
or negative outcome.
The consequence of excessive emotional outbursts can cause damage to qi (life energy) which in turn damages vital organs for both ourselves and those we communicate with.
This is a list that opened my eyes to cause and effect of some diseases;
Jealousy:
weakens immune system.
Vengefulness:
causes insomnia and throat disease.
Inability to find a solution:
causes lung disease.
Unwavering in a belief:
causes diabetes and migraines.
Lying:
causes alcoholism.
Aggressiveness:
causes gastric ulcer, reflux and warts.
Cruelty:
can cause epilepsy, asthma and anemia.
Seeking conflicts:
thyroid enlargement.
Apathy:
can cause diabetes.
Being rude or insulting:
causes heart disease.
Anxiety:
digestive system, heart and skin disorders.
Greed:
causes obesity and heart disease.
Should we cure our character of the above and the relevant diseases go away.
My thanks to Indian Ayurvedic causes and cures for this list.
When we lack in this most important area,
we effect directly all those we contact every day,
in every way,
family and friends,
in fact all we contact.
Please take care with everything
we say,
think,
and do.
The more mindful we are, the more able to let go of useless,
emotional,
rubbish.
