Nothing hurts more than when your inner most feelings betray you. When the words you want to say so much comes out when it should not. Or when you do something wrong guided by your emotions. The worse pain does not come from the ones you hurt but from yourself. When you think you have lost all self control over your actions, as if controlled by a unstoppable force. That is a very terrifying thought, being controlled by an unknown being, not knowing what you are going to be or when are you going to be there.

Emotions. Are they necessary for survival? Or are they nothing but tools by a higher being whose only entertainment is to see us suffer, the best by our very own selves? Emotions triggered by juvenile hormones waiting to erupted into your very system, forcing you, compelling you to do idiotic things, things a rational person will never do. A person who tries to is reined by the hormones is a fool. A person who resists them is a greater fool. Understanding, yes. Understanding is the best way. To understand is to except, and make intelligent choices.

There are people who say that it our emotions that make us humans. Going through trials and tribulations make us humans. Ancient religions seemed to imply that humans are meant to suffer the moment you were born. These are people making wild choices, destroying themselves in the never ending cycle of life, never understanding the true meaning of it.

We were born not to suffer, but to enjoy the shoals of happiness that lies in the sea of unfamiliar terrain. This will sustain us through the long and winding journey we called life. A rock to us is useless, but to cavemen at is a tool. Nothing is what it seems. You have no control of whom you may meet, but you have control over how you react to them.

Consider the Kinetic Particle Theory. When two particles collide, they repel one another and go different directions. They do not stay at the same place, continuing colliding. We as humans must learn from the basic unit of matter. Stay away from things that are moving in the opposite direction. Who knows? You might just react with a compatible.

Grab the reins.
