Emotional Is Not Only Possible, But It Is Natural
In our daily lives, it is not uncommon for people to unintentionally or even intentionally hurt one another’s feelings. This often stems from arrogance, ego, or moments of emotional instability. These emotional reactions are nothing but responses to the unseen burden we carry within — emotional labour.
Take, for example, a typical disagreement between a husband and wife. It could be about the upbringing of their children, a trivial household chore left undone, or even a careless remark made about in-laws. These are the usual suspects in the emotional drama of life. They seem big in the moment, yet they are small ripples in the grand river of relationships.
Emotions are like waves in a flowing river. They rise, they stir the surface, but eventually, the water calms down. The river is bounded on both sides — much like our lives are bound by social norms and mutual understanding. And once the emotional storm has passed, often there's no trace left of the turmoil. What remains is stillness, clarity, and depth.
It is therefore a misconception to believe that once a relationship is strained or once love is wounded, healing is impossible. Emotional bonds, like nature, have a rhythm of healing and rebirth. Even the bitterest memories can fade through conscious awareness and mindfulness practices. They help us not only let go but also rebuild bridges of understanding and compassion.
In truth, being emotional is not a flaw — it is deeply human. What matters is how we navigate those emotional waters, learn to swim through storms, and find peace on the other shore.
