Expression of Emotions
Always wondered why it’s said that humans are greater than other animals because we have emotion. We can express our feelings makes u higher beings. I wonder if these are actually true explanation of why god made us as we are? I wonder…
Every relation, every role that humans play has a different angle to be viewed from. And I am sure not all angles can be justified. There will be someone out there for whom some angel of the relation will be wrong, Or unacceptable at least. Animals have just one angle… universally accepted. Here’s a though- humans are the only species which kills each other!
In our day-to-day life, we come across so many situations that make us wonder, what if things were different? What if others cannot be so bothered about our life? But then, those people are related to us. We cannot overlook their feelings. We are humans. We need to live within the boundaries of human emotions. You can’t hurt them. They are after all your parents, your loved ones, your wife or husband, your girlfriend or boyfriend, your children, or maybe just someone very close to you.
Someone once asked me why couldn’t all of us hug each other all the time? Why can’t we just be more expressive about our feelings without hurting someone else? I wondered why? Sure enough the world would be a better place if we could do that? Why do all feelings and emotions need to be tied down to some relation: emotional, physical or sexual? Isn’t that what animal do? So why are we humans? Or just the fact that humans are after all animals answer that question? Then where does that leave me with my original question: why are humans considered greater than other animals.
Every relation that a person enters needs approval, or so it seems. If we analyze any relation, we will find that at the end of the day, its just a compromise that we are living. And that steams from the fact that we are not that good in expressing our emotions. Or we loose touch with our emotions.
Ask a newly wed about the anguish they went through to get married, yet in few years, those moments will turn sour. They will end up hurting each other. Blame it on circumstances. I think its just simple lack of emotions finding proper route. Why do either of them need to give space or understand the other one a hundred percent without being expected to be understood in return. Why do dreams they shared start looking like dreams.
Ask a child, what he wants the most? I am quite certain, he will answer that he wants his parents to love him. Some one said, “The best love a father can give his children, is to love their mother.” Someone also said, “The best love a mother can give her children, is to show respect to their father.” Yet, how many homes have we seen where this is not applicable? How many broken homes have we seen, where the child suffers the most because of parents bickering? And all this because the child has no proper tool to express his or her emotion?
Ask a lover, what he or she loves the most about his or her partner? I am quite sure; they will say its there love and caring attitude. Yet why do the relations turn sour just because that same loving and caring attitude is directed towards other? Why do they expect that the emotion of a person should be expressed only partially? Just because that expression of emotion makes them feel to left out and not able to handle the others expression of emotion?
Ask a friend what they love about his or her pal? I am quite confident; they will say it’s there ability to give joy and happiness to others and to them in particular. Yet, why does it so happen that the same friends start expecting all the happiness be directed towards them? Why does the happiness of the one who gives them all the love and happiness doesn’t make that much of an importance for them? Just that these expressions of emotion become part of their life and they want it all?
Ask a person, who loves to love others, what he loves the most about others? I am determined they will say it’s the happiness that others express when the get love. Yet, why does it so happen that if others start giving same happiness to them, they start feeling left out or can’t handle the love the others get? Why does the happiness of others that they were dying to give become the cause of their pain? Just that these expressions of emotions make them feel that their expression of emotion is not worth enough?
I wonder how much better we would have been if we were just animals? Just touch, see, lick and brush each other. That’s all. No words, no tears, no emotions… yet more beautiful.
