Of All These Liars, You Might Just Be The Greatest


Feelings, they might just be the greatest liars of all time. To be honest, they flat out lie in some situations. Have you heard of rose tinted glasses? Lying, feelings are liars. To see reality through feelings, is to see a lie.



You can’t trust  feelings, and when one says that, it doesn't count gut feelings or other such feelings of intuition. However, they can be wrong to. Nevertheless, one digresses, with feelings of happiness, sadness, doubt, and all those other such things they can be out right wrong.

 

When feelings come around, they don’t necessarily tell a true story, they distort your view of life. Have you ever done a test and you felt that you had failed when actually you passed with flying colors? The truth is, feelings, don’t tell the truth. They tell you accurately how you feel, but not how others feel or interpenetrate reality correctly.

 

While that might see obvious, in essence, things could be going marvelously in your life, but if your feeling are telling you everything is rubbish you will only see rubbish. You could be literally be surrounded by excellent people and amazing situations, but if you're feeling like garbage, that's how you will see things.



Feelings are wonderful and they should never really be stifled, but they have a place. A place that is not in your eye sockets. Feelings are wonderful, but you must not fully trust them if you are to look for your best interest.

To best describe emotions would be to compare them to a child. You wouldn’t ask a child to drive you anywhere. Nor would you trust a child’s opinion on everything. There is nothing wrong with the child, but the thing is, the child is just a child. So in the same manner, feelings are feelings, they have their limitations besides being wonderful.



The sad part is that people trust their feelings so much, to such extent that they let their feelings guide their lifestyles, their choices, and their relationships. Feelings were never intended to be that. Feelings were meant to spice things, not run over everything.

It's understandable why we have emotions. However, we need to at certain times pull back from our emotions, and logically look at situations. By this way, we will be able to see beyond our emotions that often cloud our judgement. Enabling us to avoid reacting in ways that will make us regret because we were not able to see things clearly.



Emotions are what they are and not what they are. In situations, we need to pull back from what we are feeling. Just because we feel like something all the time does not mean that it is for us. If someone has depression and they think that is life, they would be wrong. Feelings don’t paint reality, and feelings are just feelings and not something that we are to be, but something we just feel.

I am compelled to agree.
However, when it is a person with whom you may reside, who tries repeatedly to illicit an emotional response to only gain some sick enjoyment from generating negative effects and continues to cause contentious antipathy between one and another, it behooves neither, and ensures more problems for which I have enough of, and little tolerance for. To be involved in a lifetime (of) medical problem(s) that he is aware of, and I assert the solution(s), more likely I am also a part of both, problem and solution, a more realistic approach. No mas problemas. A little love goes a lot farther than the angry man, micromanaging me as if I'm some problem and not a person with a problem, bad perception and it is emotionally overwhelming and damaging to me as I am living in my problems and solutions for both.
