Why would someone become a slave to emotions?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-03

Emotions are inevitable, cannot be eliminated, and cannot be "forcibly controlled" by willpower.

From the process of reptilian brain-emotional brain-rational brain, it can be seen that emotions precede reason, and reason seems to be able to control emotions, but emotions are more primitive things.

If you want to influence your emotions, you must base your rationality on rational cognition.

To be a slave to emotions is to not have enough cognition and mental strength.

Of course, there is a gap in cognition of big and small things, so let's talk about a basic cognition.

Who am I?

If you have "who I am" in your mind, the standard is based on the external world, which means that your cognition exists in an invisible cage.

The gap is only in who created this cage? Whether it's family, a partner, a friend, or an authority or a certain value.

When you are ready to do something, say a certain word, or face a certain situation, the inner cage will give birth to a lot of unnecessary negative assumptions, and the mental energy that you can use to control your emotions will be invisibly consumed.

If people don't have enough mental strength, they will become slaves to their emotions.

On the contrary, if you have a clear understanding of yourself, a clear framework for the world, and can make your own decisions, it is difficult to be without control.

Finally, if you are overwhelmed by emotions, you must remember the one principle that best protects you.

Don't make big decisions, don't make big decisions, don't make big decisions. Encourage everyone.
